A volume that is at once sophisticated and readable, pushing at the boundaries of common conclusions about globalization, immigration, and diaspora.— Caroline Levine, University of Wisconsin-Madison<br />
Marcus Bullock and Peter Y. Paik, in bringing this collection together, show we have reached a moment in history when it is imperative to question prevailing intellectual models. The interconnectedness of the world's economies, the contributors argue, can exacerbate existing antagonisms or create new ones. With essays by Ihab Hassan, Paul Brodwin, and Helen Fehervary, among others, Aftermaths engages not only with important academic topics but also with the leading political issues of the day.
