Summary: Annotation. Originating from a 1998 Stanford University conference of the same name, this volume explores how local communities negotiate the cultural impact of globalization. Mudimbe-Boye (French and comparative literature, Stanford U.) presents 12 papers that discuss the persistence of dichotomies of colonizer/colonized, center/periphery, local/global, premodernity/modernity, and similar examples in the face of the supposed homogenizing force of globalization. Representing a range of approaches and viewpoints the papers reflect on power-based binaries, questions of places and the construction of new identities, and the possibilities of moving beyond dualist representations of social reality Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
