Reviews

This book presents an in-depth and nuanced analysis of the role of American popular culture in shaping globalization. It nicely balances discussions of the unifying components of cultural globalization with the equally insistent pressures toward fragmentation. Such an analysis is a necessary complement to the more prevalent studies of international trade and economic globalization in order to understand interactions between individuals and nations today.--Linda Datcher Loury
