Globalization and Culture : Global Melange Paperback / softback
by Jan Nederveen Pieterse
Part of the Globalization series
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Now updated with new chapters on culture and on populism, this seminal text disputes the view that we are experiencing a "clash of civilizations" as well as the idea that globalization leads to cultural homogenization.
Instead, Jan Nederveen Pieterse argues that we are witnessing the formation of a global melange culture through processes of cultural mixing or hybridization.
From this perspective on globalization, conflict may be mitigated and identity preserved, albeit transformed.
In a new chapter on China, the author focuses on the key issue of agency and power in hybridization.
Throughout, the book offers a comprehensive treatment of hybridization arguments, and in discussing globalization and culture, problematizes the meaning of culture.
This historically deep and geographically wide approach to globalization is essential reading as we face the increasing spread of conflicts bred by cultural misunderstanding.
