{"product_id":"globalization-and-culture-jan-nederveen-pieterse-9781538198735","title":"Globalization and Culture: Global Mélange","description":"This seminal text disputes the view that we are experiencing a \"clash of civilizations\" as well as the idea that globalization leads to cultural homogenization. Instead, Jan Nederveen Pieterse argues that we are witnessing the formation of a global mélange culture through processes of cultural mixing or hybridization. From this perspective on globalization, conflict may be mitigated and identity preserved, albeit transformed. Through numerous updates in the Fifth edition, the author focuses on the key issue of agency and power in hybridization. Throughout, the book offers a comprehensive treatment of hybridization arguments, and in discussing globalization and culture, problematizes the meaning of culture. This historically deep and geographically wide approach to globalization is essential reading as we face the increasing spread of conflicts bred by cultural misunderstanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jan Nederveen Pieterse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1538198738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781538198735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.11d","brand":"Jan Nederveen Pieterse","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658794971391,"sku":"9781538198735","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/globalization-and-culture-jan-nederveen-pieterse-9781538198735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
