A World Beyond Difference unpacks the globalization
literature and offers a valuable critique: one that is forthright,
yet balanced, and draws on the local work of ethnographers to
counter relativist and globalist discourses.
- Presents a lively conceptual and historical map of how we think
about the emerging socio-political world, and above all how we
think politically about human cultural differences
- Interprets, criticizes, and frames responses to world
culture
- Draws from the work of recent major social theorists, comparing
them to classical social theorists in an instructive manner
- Grounds critique of theory in years of ethnographic research
