Allison Clarke has written a book entitled Tupperware: The Promise of
Plastic in 1950s America

of interest. She is now at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna:

Subject: [URBANTH-L]media query on plastic 

Dear SUNTA Members,

 

I've received a somewhat unusual query from a freelancer reporter based
in San Francisco who is writing a book on Plastic.  She's asked for help
locating anthropologists who study the following:

 

-Societies or cultures that have experienced the introduction of
plastic, and the effect of plastic on these societies. 

 

-The relationship that access to materials has in the development of a
society or culture. 

 

If you have expertise in this area, or know others who do, could you
please pass along their names. Thanks so much for your help!   

 

Jennifer
