Is there cultural life after the clash of civilizations and global McDonaldization? Internationally award-winning author Jan Nederveen Pieterse argues that what is taking place is the formation of a global mZlange, a culture of hybridization. From this perspective on globalization, conflict may be mitigated and identity preserved if transformed. The book offers a comprehensive treatment of hybridization through a series of 14 conceptual tables embellished by textual analysis laced with tantalizing examples from around the world. This historically deep and geographically wide approach to globalization is just what is needed on the brink of more war bred by cultural misunderstanding. Visit our website for sample chapters!.

Reproducing a wide range of illustrations-from engravings and lithographs to advertisements, candy wrappings, biscuit tins, dolls, posters, and comic strips-the book raises troubling questions about caricature and parody as instruments of oppression..

Captain Van Nederveen's paper can truly be a one source document describing the trials and tribulations of procuring and employing one of the Air Force's first "unique" aircraft during peace, war, and military operations other than war. The EB-66C and the Early Struggle of Tactical Electronic Warfare is an excellent read; methodical, historical, and reminiscent of a true workhorse in the United States Air Force. It is short enough to read in a few short sittings. The lessons learned are immediately apparent and applicable in today's declining budgets. Read this paper for its intellectual content, educational value, or for pure enjoyment. Major General Glen D. Shaffer, USAF Director of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance DCS, Air and Space Operations. .

Arguing that ethnicity and multiculturalism are essential for understanding globalization, Jan Nederveen Pieterse offers one of the first sustained treatments of the reach of these key forces, beyond a limited national context. His groundbreaking book adopts a kaleidoscopic and comparative-historical perspective that intertwines strands of social science and western and non-western research as a strategy to overcome the disciplinary and regional fragmentation of most discussions. Moving beyond worn notions of ethnicity and multiculturalism, Nederveen Pieterse proposes ethnicities and global multiculture as alternative, wide-angle perspectives on cultural diversity. Global multiculture, he convincingly demonstrates, offers a fresh account of cultural dynamics amid accelerated globalization..

Which trend is the most significant, globalization or empire? This book comes down on the side of globalization Neoliberal globalization is still in motion and the particular form that empire now takes is grounded in neoliberal principles, which produces a novel cocktail of "neoliberal empire," a combination of threat and profit, war and business. Globalization or Empire? argues that "empire" is too narrow an angle for understanding American primacy, with empire as just one of the forms this takes. Thus the fundamental problems remain those of globalization, of which this book examines several.
