Synopsis

A World Beyond Difference unpacks the globalization literature and offers a valuable critique: one that is forthright, yet balanced, and draws on the local work of ethnographers to counter relativist and globalist discourses.

• Presents a lively conceptual and historical map of how we think about the emerging socio-political world, and above all how we think politically about human cultural differences
  
• Interprets, criticizes, and frames responses to world culture
  
• Draws from the work of recent major social theorists, comparing them to classical social theorists in an instructive manner
  
• Grounds critique of theory in years of ethnographic research
