Explores the concept of globalization in a variety of cultural settings, and its effect on world-wide cultural transformation of nation, place, race, class, ethnos and gender.

Review by Peter Burger appeared in the TLS, August 20, 1999Completely hostile to the Marxist analysis of globalization and to the belief in all the essays that globalization has had only negative consequences ... "The conference at Duke University was an international gathering of people with monotonously identical views. Their approach is shaped by a particular mixture of neo-Marxism and so-called literary theory, which began as an intellectual fashion in France and has become a dreary orthodoxy in American academe. There was not a single dissenting voice."
