"Greg Wise's new book is an achievement in globalization "writ small," allowing us to feel and assess things that move between and across borders, hybrid things, things whose in-betweenness poses to us personal but necessary dilemmas. Finally, the subject of cultural globalization receives a delicate affective treatment." John Nguyet Erni, Professor of Cultural Studies, Lingnan University, Hong Kong "With rigour and elegance, Wise deftly captures the movement of culture through the world. Cultural Globalization is rich in detailed cases, from a wide variety of places and cultural genres. The author's engaging, accessible analytic voice make this both a perfect course text and an important contribution to debates on globalization." Will Straw, Professor of Art and Communication Studies, McGill University
