Reviews

'This volume adds new spark and spice to how we perceive and conceive globalization in all its hues and nuance. Rather than examining language, identity, and boundary in broad and abstract cultural and discourse terms, the essays address these thematic topics through multiple disciplinary lenses in concrete places where globalization 'touches down.' The book will stand as a fresh and special contribution to globalization research.' - Xiangming Chen, Dean and Director and Paul Raether Distinguished Professor of Sociology and International Studies, Centre for Urban and Global Studies, Trinity College, USA 'Imagining Globalization offers an intriguing set of studies that take and explore the simultaneous global circulations of peoples, cultures, and languages. An impressive and innovative addition to any globalization bookshelf.' - Wendy Griswold, Department of Sociology, Northwestern University, USA
