The Anthropology of Globalization : Cultural Anthropology Enters the 21st Century
Editorial Reviews
Review
“...this useful compendium on "this frontier subject" of anthropology and globalization addresses theories of globalization and their antecedents and considers the changing context of anthropological practice....Care has gone into crafting a book that is accessible to undergraduates but also valuable to more advanced scholars. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.”–
Book Description
Lewellen gives us the first analytic overview of an important new subject area in a field that has long been identified with the study of relatively bounded communities. "Globalization" refers to the increasing flows of trade, finance, culture, ideas, and people brought about by the sophisticated technology of communications and travel and by the worldwide spread of neoliberal capitalism. Unlike dependency theory and world systems analysis, which tended to assume a bird's-eye perspective, globalization offers a down-and-dirty, ground-up approach in which ethnographic research is not marginal but essential.
