Re: Ellis Island posts
Ed and Kerry highlighted the shopping part of the Ellis Island website. Note how this part of the site offers COMMODITIES and CONSUMPTION as means of affirming family ties and ethnic identity.What do you think of this? A negative process of commodifying people's intimate feelings of belonging? Or a legitimate way of expressing such feelings?We will return to issues like this in week 10.
