{"product_id":"the-american-south-in-a-james-l-peacock-9780807855898","title":"The American South in a Global World","description":"Looking beyond broad theories of globalization, this volume examines the specific effects of globalizing forces on the southern United States. Eighteen essays approach globalization from a variety of perspectives, addressing such topics as relations between global and local communities; immigration, particularly of Latinos and Asians; local industry in a time of globalization; power and confrontation between rural and urban worlds; race, ethnicity, and organizing for social justice; and the assimilation of foreign-born professionals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom portraits of the political and economic positions of Latinos in Miami and Houston to the effects of mountaintop removal on West Virginia communities, these snapshots of globalization across a broad southern ground help redirect the study of the South in response to how the South itself is being reshaped by globalization in the twenty-first century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors: \u003cbr\u003eCatherine Brooks, Morristown, New Jersey\u003cbr\u003eDavid H.
