Or, are we headed for clashes between center and periphery, imperial and subaltern, Western and non-Western, First and Third World? The interdisciplinary essays in \u003ci\u003eBeyond Globalization \u003c\/i\u003epresent us with another possibility--that new media will lead to new kinds of \"worldmaking.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis provocative volume brings together the best new work of scholars within such diverse fields as history, sociology, anthropology, film, media studies, and art.
