Reviews
In the search for useful textbook for our Understanding Globalization classes, I've reviewed countless global studies textbooks for a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary approach for the next wave of global studies. Social and Cultural Foundations in Global Studies is a text I can use because students will read and engage. Eve Stoddard and John Collins offer an innovative approach to social and cultural processes and critical debates on globalization that undergraduates immediately recognize: global media, yoga, climate change, LGBT identities, and competing discourses of the veil, to name a few. This is a book that will generate lively debate in the classroom. I am eager to use it. Kathryn Poethig, California State University-Monterey Bay Social and Cultural Foundations in Global Studies is an outstanding introductory text that captures the dynamic and exciting field of global studies. Stoddard and Collins explain the evolution of the interdisciplinary field and its core concepts in ways that are accessible and theoretically sophisticated. The book draws upon engaging, compelling case studies to illustrate how social and cultural processes are connected to political and economic processes. This book should be required reading for anyone who is pursuing education in order to become a global citizen. Sita Ranchod-Nilsson, Emory University Eve Stoddard and John Collins have written the accessible and resource-rich introductory text on global studies epistemology, theories, and methods that many of us have been awaiting. In Social and Cultural Foundations of Global Studies, they provide a clear overview of the emergent interdisciplinary (or transdisciplinary) field of global studies and make a compelling case for understanding multi-scale and multi-dimensional aspects of globalization. Most crucially, they demonstrate, through telling case studies, the promise of a global studies approach to analyzing contemporary sociocultural phenomena. Verne A. Dusenbery, Hamline University
