Overview
Plural Globalities in Multiple Localities: New World Borders brings together various papers from the Society for Economic Anthropology's 1997 annual meeting. Structured around the theme, "Globalization and Regionalization," the meeting investigated the way this phenomenon has influenced the restructuring and reconfiguration of businesses, states, cities and social life since the 1980's. The Society for Economic Anthropology brought a local or micro perspective to the study of globalization that has been dominated by macro approaches. The papers from this volume present the multiplicity of globalities that we face today and examine the contributions anthropology has to offer to this field of study.
