5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning commentary on changing global identities., July 26, 1999
By A Customer
I happened to stumble upon this beautiful, fascinating read and was amazed by its rich exploration of how we construct our identities in the new politics of globalization, migrancy, postcolonialism and postmodernism. The author shows a deep understanding of the personal effects of nationalism and internationalism, and the nuances of urban survival at a time when the meaning of the terms 'global' and 'local' have become shifting and unsteady. A must read for anyone working on postcolonial studies, or anyone who wants to think more deeply about how migration will evolve in the 21st century.

2.0 out of 5 stars An overly ambitious book which misses the mark,drastically., May 26, 1999
By A Customer
More and more titles, promise and give less content wise. This book is no depature from that tradition. It is filled with short sighted claims and unbelievably ostentatious arguments bound by lotfy sentences. If a book were to be written by or about nomads, it would not be this.
