Now updated with new chapters on culture and on populism, this
seminal text disputes the view that we are experiencing a
“clash of civilizations” as well as the idea that globalization
leads to cultural homogenization. Instead, Jan Nederveen
Pieterse argues that we are witnessing the formation of a global
mélange culture through processes of cultural mixing or
hybridization. From this perspective on globalization, conflict may
be mitigated and identity preserved, albeit transformed. In a new
chapter on China, the author focuses on the key issue of
agency and power in hybridization. Throughout, the book offers a
comprehensive treatment of hybridization arguments, and in
discussing globalization and culture, problematizes the meaning of
culture. This historically deep and geographically wide
approach to globalization is essential reading as we face the
increasing spread of conflicts bred by cultural misunderstanding.
