New York University Press Queer Globalizations
Book SynopsisScholars of postcolonial and LGBT studies examine the validity of the globalization of queer culturesGlobalization has a taste for queer cultures. Whether in advertising, film, performance art, the internet, or in the political discourses of human rights in emerging democracies, queerness sells and the transnational circulation of peoples, identities and social movements that we call globalization can be liberating to the extent that it incorporates queer lives and cultures. From this perspective, globalization is seen as allowing the emergence of queer identities and cultures on a global scale. The essays in Queer Globalizations bring together scholars of postcolonial and lesbian and gay studies in order to examine from multiple perspectives the narratives that have sought to define globalization. In examining the tales that have been spun about globalization, these scholars have tried not only to assess the validity of the claims made for globalization, tTrade ReviewIntellectual and political project. * Signs *Table of Contents1 The Wily Homosexual (First-and Necessarily Hasty-Notes) 2 Dissident Globalizations, Emancipatory Methods, Social-Erotics 3 "There Are No Lesbians Here": Lesbianisms, Feminisms, and Global Gay Formations 4 Can Homosexuals End Western Civilization As We Know It?

Duke University Press Minor Transnationalism
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays investigates the importance of "minor discourses" and minority cultures across national boundaries.Trade Review“Highlighting minor-to-minor global networks that connect the margins without having to go through the center, Françoise Lionnet and Shu-mei Shih’s intriguing collection sparkles when put next to the usual anthologies on globalization. Individual essays on theory, literacy, performance, cinema, music, architecture, and borderlands cumulatively emphasize the multiple outcomes of cultural transversality and horizontal mobility. Reaching beyond the triumphalism of mainstream globalization discourse, Minor Transnationalism demonstrates that the moment for a better understanding of minoritization has truly arrived.”—Srinivas Aravamudan, author of Tropicopolitans: Colonialism and Agency, 1688–1804Minor Transnationalism opens up new approaches to reading minority cultures and major/minor dynamics of capitalist globalization and postcolonial emergence from Paris and Los Angeles to Japan, Jamaica, Nigeria, and Brazil. It wrests the ‘transnational’ away from tired paradigms of global capitalism or ethnic cooptation and makes it do the work of ‘minority-becoming.’ The result is a fabulous collection of cultural plenitude, globalized imagination, and critical lucidity.”—Rob Wilson, author of Reimagining the American Pacific: From South Pacific to Bamboo Ridge and Beyond“[A] remarkable collection of essays. . . . The volume's contributors finesse the argument for transnational cultures presented by Lionnet and Behdad and turn the volume itself into an accomplished exploration of the dynamic nature of minority lives in nation-states.

Duke University Press Imagined Globalization
Book SynopsisA leading figure in cultural studies worldwide, Néstor García Canclini is a Latin American thinker who has consistently sought to understand the impact of globalization. In this book, newly available in English, he considers how globalization is imagined by artists, academics, migrants, and entrepreneurs, all of whom traverse boundaries and engage in multicultural interactions.Trade Review"For those engaging the question of howwemay move beyond narrow geopolitical horizons to embrace world anthropologies, this important book offers an exemplary model and abundant food for thought." -- Florence E. Babb * American Anthropologist *"[O]ffers a nuanced examination of globalization…García Canclini creatively marshals autoethnographies, fictional scenarios, metaphors and cultural theorizing to compel the reader to consider global horizons broader than those imagined and channeled by the United States’ and Europe’s anthropological purview." -- Dustin Welch García * Ameriquests *"Néstor García Canclini’s Imagined Globalization urges a rearticulation of globalization discourse away from a solely economic or political focus to include the ways in which art, literature, fi lm, music, and television demonstrate interculturality…. Above all, this text gives the reader tangible examples of the exclusionary repercussions inherent to globalization, including a rich analysis proving imaginaries are culturally constructed." -- Christine Preble * Journal of Anthropological Research *"This book is recommended to anyone interested in ways to manage globalization using the tools of culture, art, politics, and democracy. Most of the book uses accessible prose, and the translator, George Yúdice, has done a fantastic job of inserting notes where minor updates to the original text are necessary." -- Amentahru Wahlrab * The Latin Americanist *“This translated version of Imagined Globalization is bookended by a highly insightful reading guide prepared by the translator, George Yúdice, and a uniquely compelling Epilogue consisting of a conversation between Garía Canclini and Toby Miller in 2011. Together they serve to update the text, helping readers to situate it within a larger trajectory of scholarly research on globalisation and Garía Canclini’s own body of work. Imagined Globalization deserves the attention of social scientists and Latin Americanists interested in the ‘possibilities-impossibilities of intercultural cooperation’ (p. 71) in a global age.” -- Sarah Lyon * Bulletin of Latin American Research *Table of ContentsTranslator's Introduction Introduction.

Fordham University Press Europe and Empire
Book SynopsisThe European Union and the single currency have given Europe more stability than it has known in the past thousand years, yet Europe seems to be in perpetual crisis about its global role. The many European empires are now reduced to a multiplicity of ethnicities, traditions, and civilizations. Europe will never be One, but to survive as a union it will have to become a federation of islands both distinct and connected.Though drawing on philosophers of Europe's past, Cacciari calls not to resist Europe's sunset but to embrace it. Europe will have to open up to the possibility that in few generations new exiles and an unpredictable cultural hybridism will again change all we know about the European legacy. Though scarcely alive in today's politics, the political unity of Europe is still a necessity, however impossible it seems to achieve.Trade Review"Europe and Empire is both timely and insightful.

Fordham University Press Peoples Car Industrial India and the Riddles of
Book SynopsisPeople's Car studies divergent populist responses to land acquisition for industries in rural India. It contends that landownership enables small landowners to aspire and look forward to social mobility in the non-farm sector, which are contingent upon industrialization. The protests against land acquisition, thus, have contradictory tendencies.Trade ReviewAmid a glut of work on the urban global South, it is refreshing to read a book that strives to think the contemporary dynamics of development and agrarian change ethnographically. The book convincingly argues that the romanticized portrayals of either the communitarian peasant (commonplace in activist portrayals) or the irrational peasant (commonplace in policy circles and certain quarters of disciplinary economics) miss the point. Land, Majumder argues, is a vessel of personhood and unrequited desires. Attentive to the conflicted sentiments and desires of its peasant informants, the book refreshingly refuses to toe a clear ideological line. This well-crafted, clearly written book poses important questions of broad relevance to contemporary India and beyond. -- Vinay Gidwani, University of MinnesotaPeople’s Car offers an extraordinarily valuable take on a major movement against the acquisition of land for development, in the case of a Tata Motors car factory. The factory becomes the alibi for nuanced interrogations, both material and theoretical, of resistance, anthropology, economics, political economies, rural-scapes and the very nature and idea of land. -- Geeta Patel, University of VirginiaSarasij Majumder’s new ethnography, People’s Car, does what anthropology does best: he shows (not tells) how populism works... Anthropologists, South Asia scholars, and readers interested in class, labor, gender and village life will greatly benefit from Majumder’s attention to the rural not as object, but as process. * Political and Legal Anthropology Review *Majumder’s book deserves to be read by everybody interested in the present of West Bengal as history; so that, above all, one may not mistake snake oils of the past for elixirs of the future.---Indraneel Dasgupta, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, Economic and Political WeeklyTable of ContentsList of Abbreviations ix A Timeline of the Events in Singur xi Introduction.

Focusing endogenous forces at the regional level has become elemental in our thinking about development and competitiveness at all levels. This book demonstrates that building and testing ''local after-crisis scenarios'' before crises occur informs policy and leadership at the critical flex points along the regional development horizon.' --- Roger Stough, George Mason University, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Those involved in international financial institutions and national monetary institutions will also find it to be an impartial and illuminating study.Trade ReviewRecent events in advanced and emerging markets have rendered IMF reform more urgent than ever.

This monograph provides a timely and comprehensive account of the functioning of the Fund, ranging from an analysis of what determines access to its loans to the consequences of its programs.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook on the Globalisation of Agriculture

The book stands as a valuable scan of the diverse forces and processes of change in agriculture and also makes visible, through its various and well-chosen case analyses, the abiding and sometimes colliding roles of structure, agency, power and place in shaping farm and food futures.’ -- John Smithers, University of Guelph, Canada‘An excellent, timely and innovative contribution to the wide-ranging debates on the globalisation of agriculture. The book brings together a wide array of authors who approach agricultural globalisation issues from various angles spanning both the social and natural sciences, including key contributions on agriculture/environment issues, food security challenges, policy regimes, transnational corporations, and challenges of an increasingly globalised agriculture.’ -- Geoff A. Wilson, Plymouth University, UK‘It is clear that this handbook provides a wide and very rich overview of topics, themes, theoretical reflections and scholarly debates addressing recent transformations in global agriculture in its broadest terms. The volume excels due to a combi-nation of wide perspectives with multiple foci. In general, the chapters are clear and concise, illustrating the wealth and depth of this research area.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Republican Global Constitutionalism
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘Steven Slaughter’s book moves from a dissection of the problems facing our globalized world, through a critique of existing initiatives and institutions, to a neo-republican argument for an array of plausible, concrete proposals. It is a theoretically persuasive, empirically informed study, deserving of attention in the public square and the corridors of power as well as in the seminar room.’ -- Philip Pettit, L.S.Rockefeller University Professor of Human Values, Princeton University, US‘Steven Slaughter offers a compelling argument for seeking a middle path to a better international politics. It is a path that aims to avoid what he sees as the too-totalizing control of a full world government, and the ineffectiveness of most attempts at robust global governance. His alternative, Republican Global Constitutionalism, emphasizes the evolution of treaty-based, constitution-like governance in some aspects of international politics, and especially the roles that an active “global citizenry” could play in advancing and transforming global cooperation. This book is highly recommended for those seeking a sophisticated but accessible entry into dialogues on the transformation and/or surpassing of the liberal international order.’ -- Luis Cabrera, Griffith University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to Republican Global Constitutionalism 1.
