Providing critical assessment of the "globalization thesis" through sustained analysis of the nexus of processes underlying social and cultural relations, this text examines and explores the many contradictions embedded within different discourses of globalization. Together, the various chapters in the collection offer a wide ranging critique of those accounts which represent globalization primarily, if not exclusively, as the classic story of European modernity with its attendant narratives of unfettered movement of people, unmitigated economic growth and social progress.
