Consuming Crisis 1st Edition

Consuming Crisis — 1st Edition by Francesca Sobande delivers a timely, rigorous exploration of how contemporary crises are shaped, narrated, and monetized through media and consumer culture. This compelling volume immediately draws readers in with a sharp opening that reframes everyday events as sites of commercial meaning and social negotiation.

Through clear, accessible prose, the book unpacks how brands, platforms and cultural intermediaries transform moments of social upheaval into narratives that influence identity, public perception and buying behaviour.
