Description
Book SynopsisDrawing on diverse research literature from the fields of anthropology, cultural studies, cultural geography, and media studies, Cultural Globalization: A User's Guide presents a new perspective through which to raise questions about globalization, a perspective framed by the concepts of territory, identity, and culture.
Trade Review"MacGregor Wise’s meander through music and youth culture offers a vision of a free global sweet shop, in which fashionable kids can pick and mix their identities ... .A comparison of the manner in which the music press elevates certain types of 'world music' with British colonial approval of the Indian caste system provides ... originality."
