The American Century: Consensus and Coercion in the Projection of American Power (Hardcover): D Slater The American Century: Consensus and Coercion in the Projection of American Power (Hardcover)
D Slater
R4,126 Discovery Miles 41 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book brings together studies of Americanization and American imperialism to assess how far the twentieth century can be seen as the "American Century." The collection comprises new contributions exploring the "geographic dialogues" that arise as the result of the projection of American power and culture in the world. The book provides a critical evaluation of the extent of the diffusion and adoption of the "American way of life" and the very concept of "America" itself.

The contributors focus on the effects of the projection of American society from the perspective of the "receivers," both as beneficiaries and as victims. The sections examine three main forms of American power: economic, political and cultural. Topics covered include the role of US corporations; financial power; overseas service investments; American promotion of democracy; the Cold War and the Third World; Hollywood and the American dream; global Disney; the globalization of media; and the influence of American music. The book concludes by looking forward to ask if we are entering a second American century.

New Media, Development and Globalization - Making Connections in the Global South (Paperback): D Slater New Media, Development and Globalization - Making Connections in the Global South (Paperback)
D Slater
R581 Discovery Miles 5 810 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

New media, development and globalization are the key terms through which the future is being imagined and performed in governance, development initiatives and public and political discourse. Yet these authoritative terms have arisen within particular cultural and ideological contexts. In using them, we risk promoting over-generalized and seemingly unchallengeable frameworks for action and knowledge production which can blind us to the complex global patterns and promise of social reality. This compelling book forces us to look at these terms afresh. Drawing on more than ten years of ethnographic fieldwork in Latin America, West Africa and South Asia, Don Slater seeks to challenge these terms as voicing specific northern narratives rather than universal truths, and to see them from the perspective of southern people and communities who are equally concerned to understand new machines for communication, new models of social change and new maps of social connection. The central question the book poses is: how we can democratize the ways we think and practise new media, development and globalization, opening these terms to dialogue and challenge within North-South relations? Rooted in sociological debates, New Media, Development and Globalization will also be a provocative contribution to media and cultural studies, studies of digital culture, development studies, geography and anthropology.

Geopolitics and the Post-colonial - Rethinking North-South Relations (Paperback): D Slater Geopolitics and the Post-colonial - Rethinking North-South Relations (Paperback)
D Slater
R1,256 Discovery Miles 12 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Highlighting the contribution of key thinkers from the Third World, "Geopolitics and the Post-colonial" examines the dynamic nature of spatial power and cultural representation. This book is unique in the way it reconceptualizes geopolitical analysis from a post-colonial perspective. A key motif concerns tracing the historical impact of the United States on the societies of the South and especially the Latin South. Throughout the text, ideas and events, interventions and representations are woven together in a critique of the effects of Western power.

Market Society - Markets and Modern Social Theory (Paperback): D Slater Market Society - Markets and Modern Social Theory (Paperback)
D Slater
R610 Discovery Miles 6 100 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

"Market Society" provides an original and accessible review of changing conceptions of the market in modern social thought. The book considers markets as social institutions rather than simply formal models, arguing that modern ideas of the market are based on critical notions of social order, social action and social relations. Examining a range of perspectives on the market from across different social science disciplines, "Market Society" surveys a complex field of ideas in a clear and comprehensive manner. In this way it seeks to extend economic sociology beyond a critique of mainstream economics, and to engage more broadly with social, political and cultural theory.


The book explores historical approaches to the emergence of a modern market society, as well as major approaches to the market within modern economic theory and sociology. It addresses key arguments in economic sociology and anthropology, the relation between markets and states, and critical and cultural theories of market rationality. It concludes with a discussion of markets and culture in a late modern context.


This wide-ranging text will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students in sociology, economic theory and history, politics, social and political theory, anthropology and cultural studies.
