Additional Book Details
′Globalization and Belonging′s headline message - that place matters, that locality remains vital to people, is arresting′ - Frank Webster, Professor of Sociology, City University, London</p>
<p></p>
<p>Drawing on long-term empirical research into cultural practices, lifestyles and identities, Globalization and Belonging explores how far-reaching global changes are articulated locally. </p>
<p></p>
<p>The authors address key sociological issues of stratification as analysis alongside ′cultural′ issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle. Their original argument: </p>
<p>" Shows how globalisation theory conceives of the ′local′</p>
<p>" Reveals that people have a sense of elective belonging based on where they choose to put down roots </p>
<p>" Suggests that the feel of a place is much more strongly influenced by the values and lifestyles of those migrating to it</p>
<p>" reinvigorates debates in urban and community studies by recovering the ′local′ as an intrinsic aspect of globalisation</p>
<p></p>
<p>Theoretically rigorous, the book is brought to life with direct quotations from the authors′ research, and appeals to students in urban sociology, urban geography, media studies and cultural studies.
