“The fifth edition of Pieterse’s Globalization and Culture is both engaging and highly readable. Its approach to globalization through the lens of hybridity has been updated to include a range of new developments while still maintaining its core analyses and conclusions about the complexity and interconnectedness of cultural, political, and economic phenomena in our world. The book has sparked many nuanced discussions with students and will continue to do so in this updated edition.”
