What sets this volume apart is its ethnographic focus. The Anthropology of Globalization focuses simultaneously on the large-scale processes through which various cultures are becoming increasingly interconnected and on the ways that people around the world -- from Africa and Asia to the Caribbean and North America -- mediate these processes in culturally specific ways. In other words, these articles highlight the conjunctural and situated character of globalization.
Editors Inda & Rosaldo have collected some of the finest work on globalization published in English over the past decade and have provided readers with a rich introduction to the subject, additional section introductions, and recommendations for further readings.
Renato Rosaldo is Lucie Stern Professor in the Social Sciences at Stanford University. He is the author of Ilongot Headhunting, 1883-1974 (1980) and Culture and Truth (1989) and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
