Living the Global City (1996) was a landmark text in the field of
Global Studies, offering an analysis of globalization and
global/local processes by focussing on specific issues and themes
which include community, culture, milieu, socioscapes and
sociospheres, microglobalization, poverty, ethnic identity and
carnival. In this new collection Eade and Rumford draw together
scholars whose work has engaged with the original volume over the
last 15 years and the result is a unique and thematically coherent
collection of essays which both complements the original book and
challenges some of its core assumptions. Re-Living the Global City
both pays homage to a key text and pushes its agenda into important
new areas. After reflecting upon how debates in the field have
developed since the original publication, the contributors seek to
drive the debate forward through discussion of contemporary themes
and issues such as borders and bordering, social movements,
community and global connectivity. They consider the ways in which
the city produces different experiences of globalization for
different people and examine the various accounts of the ways in
which new forms of sociality are definitive of contemporary
globalization and cosmopolitanism. Drawing together scholars from a
range of disciplines including international relations, politics,
sociology, urban studies and anthropology, this work will be of
great interest to all students and scholars of global studies and
globalization.
