Description
Book SynopsisDrawing metaphorically from the ancient Mayan myth of the Nahual, this study illustrates the experiences of three Central American communities connected with the global markets of tourism, handicrafts and manufacturing subcontracts.
Trade ReviewCommunities in Globalization is a very important, highly original text that will fill a void in the literatures on globalization, development, and Latin American studies. The authors' writing and argument are clear and the analysis is sophisticated, making it ideal for both undergraduate and graduate courses. There is simply no other text that addresses the topic of community development under globalization the way in which this book does. -- Jose Itzigsohn, Brown University
