| Summary |
This collection gives voice to the peoples and groups impacted by globalization as they seek to negotiate their identities, language use, and territorial boundaries within a larger global context. Rather than viewing globalization as one-dimensional, (i.e., cultural, economic, or political), the approaches taken by the authors reflect a nuanced and multifaceted discussion of globalization that integrates all three perspectives. The cases encompass the historical eras of colonization, Cold War, and post-Cold War and utilize multi- and interdisciplinary approaches These approaches allow for the exploration of identity, boundaries, language use, and other issues in the context of specific temporal and spatial contexts. This book will appeal to both students and scholars interested in the globalization from a broader yet integrated perspective |
