′Globalization and Belonging′s headline message - that place
matters, that locality remains vital to people, is arresting′ -
Frank Webster, Professor of Sociology, City University, London Drawing
on long-term empirical research into cultural practices, lifestyles
and identities, Globalization and Belonging explores how far-reaching
global changes are articulated locally. The authors address key
sociological issues of stratification as analysis alongside
′cultural′ issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle.
Their original argument: " Shows how globalisation theory conceives of
the ′local′ " Reveals that people have a sense of elective
belonging based on where they choose to put down roots " Suggests that
the feel of a place is much more strongly influenced by the values and
lifestyles of those migrating to it " reinvigorates debates in urban
and community studies by recovering the ′local′ as an intrinsic
aspect of globalisation Theoretically rigorous, the book is brought to
life with direct quotations from the authors′ research, and appeals
to students in urban sociology, urban geography, media studies and
cultural studies.
