Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

A valuable book....of theoretical interest to scholars in all areas of political science from American Politics to International Relations. It holds practical advice for activists, whether community based or members of international organizations. * H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online * A genuinely original contribution that will open up a field of inquiry and thinking. Especially valuable is the attempt to relate ethnic and intra-ethnic studies in the United States to the larger processes of diasporic movements and metropolitan cultures, which has not been done before and is brilliantly articulated in the introductory essay. -- Harry Harootunian, New York University

Reseña del editor:

This unique work opens a field of inquiry around place-based critiques of global capital as it focuses on the interactions between local issues and international financial flows. Framing their discussions around the concept of place-based imagination, the contributors examine such cases as indigenous movements against land degradation, ethnic pluralism and union organizing, ethnic diversity and the challenges of state and capital to cultural identity, and women's networks through non-governmental organizations. This ambitious study will be an invaluable resource and launching point for scholars and students in ethnic and identity studies and will interest all readers exploring the production of place and identification.
