Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:- Globalization is a communicational concept, which alternately masks and transmits cultural or economic meanings. The becoming cultural of the economic and the becoming economic of the cultural, has often been identified as one of the features that characterizes what is widely known as post-modernity. Our geographical, cultural, political, economic and social location will influence whether we see globalization as mainly an opportunity or a threat to the marginalizedcommunities. While unfolding this concept this volume has taken into consideration the multicultural and multi-religious context of our country. While everyone welcomes the new opportunities that have emerged because of globalization one cannot simply leave a number of negative elements unattended. On the other hand, communities can also be enriched by globalization when new ideas and experiences are critically adapted taking into consideration the refinement of the core values of a community. Therefore, the main task of this book is to understand and analyze globalization at best toharness its benefits and keep those negative consequences away from marginalized communities."We create our own realities". The research papers presented in this volume that have emerged from the recent international conference held in Hyderabad attempt to analyze the problems and also suggestions through which marginalized communities can be made to get the advantages of the globalization process and create their ownrealities so as to come closer to the main stream of Indian society.
