5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent meta-view of globalization, December 19, 2004
By 
R. Wiecki (Madison, Wis.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Globalization and Culture: Global Melange (Paperback)
Pieterse presents a view of globalization that transcends the usual view that it has only begun in the last few decades. He sees globalization as a process that began when the first humans left Africa 75K years ago and that has only been accelerated in recent decades. By using the idea of hybridity as a working thesis, he argues that mixing and border crossing have been and remain important and unavoidable elements in cultural interchange. If you're interested in this topic, this is a must read book.
