Description

Rapid transformations in global communications and in the world political economy are having massive effects on the prisms and categories (race, gender, ethnicity, class, nation) in which cultures, as socially organized systems of meaning, are being produced and represented. "Culture, Globalisation and the World System" brings together contributions from a group of major theorists in cultural studies, sociology and anthropology to address these issues.
