'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.
