ALTHOUGH IN THE 1996 GENERAL ELECTION THE SPANISH GREENS IN ALLIANCES OF THE LEFT HAD SOME SUCCESS IN ATTRACTING VOTES, OUTSIDE THOSE ALLIANCES THEIR POLL WAS USUALLY SO LOW AS TO BE OFF THE OFFICIAL SCALE. SIMILARLY, IN REGIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTIONS IN THE MID-1990S, GREENS ONLY CAME CLOSE TO MAKING AN ELECTORAL IMPACT IN ALLIANCE WITH FORCES OF THE LEFT. THERE ARE REASONS FOR BELIEVING THAT THE TASK OF MOVING FROM THE EDGE TOWARDS THE MAINSTREAM OF PARTY POLITICS IS MORE DIFFICULT FOR SPANISH GREENS THAN FOR THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN MANY OTHER WEST EUROPEAN STATES.

"Generally Kit Dobson hates malls. But he is fascinated by them, by their place in our society, by how we interact with them and how they end up in our books, movies and art. In Malled, the author explores malls and the shopping that occurs in and around them from one end of Canada to the other. From Chinook Centre in Calgary to the underground malls of Montreal and even up to the famous Walmart in Whitehorse, he looks at our culture of consumerism, and how malls are both shaped by their location and shape the spaces around them. While Kit may never become fond of aspects of consumer culture like the selfie stick or the Elf on the Shelf, by the end of Malled, he has found a peace with our spaces for shopping, which he suggests are only a more recent reflection of a need that will never go away."--Provided by publisher
