The Eight Original Essays Collected Here Consider This Stunning Dynamism In Ways That Help Us See Anew The Region'S Place In That Everaccelerating, Transnational Flow Of People, Capital, And Technology Known Collectively As 'Globalization.'Moving Between Local And Global Perspectives, The Essays Discuss How Once Faraway Places Like Latin America, Asia, Africa, And The Indian Subcontinent Are Now Having An Impact On The South.
