First published in 1991, Culture, Globalization and the World-System is one of the inaugural books discussing the increasing tendency of cultural practices to cross national boundaries. Now widely available in the United States for the first time and updated with a new preface, these influential essays by a distinguished group of scholars and cultural critics lay the groundwork for a vital and exciting new field of inquiry.      Culture, Globalization and the World-System views culture through different prisms and categories-including race, gender, ethnicity, class, and nation. The contributors consider how socially organized systems of meaning are produced and represented. Drawing from sociology, art history, film studies, and anthropology, these essays-many of them representing their authors’ only treatment of globalization-provide paradigms for understanding cultures and the representation of identity in “the world as a single place.”     Contributors: Barbara Abou-El-Haj, SUNY, Binghamton; Janet Abu-Lughod, New School for Social Research; Stuart Hall, Open U, UK; Ulf Hannerz, U of Stockholm, Sweden; Roland Robertson, U of Pittsburgh; John Tagg, SUNY, Binghamton; Maureen Turim, U of Florida, Gainesville; Immanuel Wallerstein, SUNY, Binghamton; Janet Wolff, U of Rochester.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49628820111633,"sku":"GOR013518589","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50685449961745,"sku":"CIN0816629536G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52449519534353,"sku":"GOR004169219","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0816629536.jpg?v=1764843618"},{"product_id":"bungalow-book-anthony-d-king-9780195095234","title":"The Bungalow","description":"I just got off the sunset train\u003cbr\u003e I'm from the Angel Town\u003cbr\u003e The Golden West Los Angeles\u003cbr\u003e Where the sun shines all year round\u003cbr\u003e I left a girlie back there\u003cbr\u003e She's the sweetest girl I know\u003cbr\u003e She said 'Goodbye'\u003cbr\u003e I'll wait for you\u003cbr\u003e In the Land of the Bungalow\u003cbr\u003e from \u003cem\u003eIn the Land of the Bungalow\u003c\/em\u003e by George F.

The author demonstrates how the physical and spatial arrangements characterizing urban development are unique products of a particular society, to be understood only in terms of its values, behaviour and institutions and the distribution of social and political power within it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in 'colonial cities' of Asia and Africa where the environmental assumptions of a dominant, industrializing Western power were introduced to largely 'pre-industrial' societies. Anthony King draws his material primarily from these areas, and includes a case study of the development of colonial Delhi from the early nineteenth century to 1947. Yet, as the author explains, the problems of how cultural social and political factors influence the nature of environments and how these in turn affect social processes and behaviour, are of global significance.  This book was first published in 1976.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53657363513617,"sku":"NLS9780415611664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780415611664.jpg?v=1781418092"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-anthony-d-king.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
