Trade Review
"Growing up Global is a provocative account of development and global change through the perspective of children's lives. . . . This book and the critical geography it represents are a remarkable effort to bridge two seemingly different worlds in both time and space." -Annals of the Association of American Geographers
"An eloquently prosaic, and readable narrative, effortlessly interweaving theoretical reflection with thick description. Katz beautifully exercises the craft of an ethnographer. This text provides a substantial and worthwhile analysis of the workings of globalization and its local impacts. Everyone should read this." -Children's Geographies
