Flip-Flop by Caroline Knowles

Flip-Flop by Caroline Knowles

By tracing the footprint of a unremarkable object across the globe, this book provides new ways of thinking about globalisation.

'A journey through globalisation's backroads.. Innovative, insightful, and by turns disturbing and inspiring'

-- Professor Craig Calhoun, Director of the London School of Economics and Political Science

'If you are invited to Davos, shiny shoes, high heels or ski boots may be in order. For understanding much of the rest of the world, Caroline Knowles shows, you think better with flip-flops'

-- Ulf Hannerz, Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University
