Reviews
"The Anthropology of Globalization, 2nd Edition is a treasury of the vast store of new and exciting work being done on this theme. It will be an invaluable text for classes on globalization in a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, literature, ethnic studies, and international studies."
Akhil Gupta, UCLA
"This volume brings together some of the most insightful anthropological writing on globalization, and so achieves the miracle of making sense of the innovations, countervailing tendencies and dilemmas that are now part of the study of culture in a changing world."
Ronald Niezen, McGill University
