Abstract

Whether in Benetton or Esprit shops, McDonald's, Sbarro's or al-Basateen Shopping Center - the hip hangout on Tahliyya Street - commoditized spaces in Jiddah provide opportunities for upper and middle class urban youth to evade or resist the cultural norms of state, religious and familial authorities.
