Description
Book SynopsisThe term glocalization describes how the global circulation of products and ideas requires accommodations to local conditions, and, in turn, how local conditions can impact global markets. This book presents glocalization as a concept that can help explain the dynamics of cross-cultural interaction both in the present and in the deep past.
Trade ReviewWright's investigation and interpretations of the Garden Creek site open a window on an important and understudied corner of the Hopewell Interaction Sphere.
