Sociological Review
"Hopper provides an accessible and informed introduction to
cultural globalization and the critical debates surrounding
it."
European Journal of Communication
"Hopper’s book should be required reading for anyone wishing
to see globalization’s “big picture”. While many
books have been written about globalization, almost all of them
give culture short shrift and focus on more easily quantifiable
matters such as economics and demographics. Understanding
Cultural Globalization fills a most important gap in the
literature on globalization. It will provide readers with a
sophisticated and nuanced view of the complex phenomena that
underlie globalization."
Steve Jones, University of Illinois
"Paul Hopper proposes a differentiating and interdisciplinary
approach to understanding cultural globalization. This book is an
accessible, informative, clear and student-friendly introduction to
the breadth of literature and a range of different debates and
topics in cultural globalization studies."
Luke Martell, University of Sussex
"Paul Hopper’s book is to be welcomed. It offers students
a valuable, balanced introduction and a clear pathway through the
often complexly overlapping arguments and perspectives covered by
the idea of cultural globalization."
John Tomlinson, Nottingham Trent University
