Sinopsis

Drawing on long-term empirical research into cultural practices, lifestyles and identities, Globalization and Belonging explores how far-reaching global changes are articulated locally.

The authors address key sociological issues of stratification as analysis alongside ´cultural´ issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle. Their original argument:

´ Shows how globalisation theory conceives of the ´local´

´ Reveals that people have a sense of elective belonging based on where they choose to put down roots

´ Suggests that the feel of a place is much more strongly influenced by the values and lifestyles of those migrating to it

´ reinvigorates debates in urban and community studies by recovering the ´local´ as an intrinsic aspect of globalisation

Theoretically rigorous, the book is brought to life with direct quotations from the authors´ research, and appeals to students in urban sociology, urban geography, media studies and cultural studies.
