Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a well-organized reader. This is an excellent reader for teachers who teach undergraduate courses on globalization, work, and social institution. It is also a must-read for lower and upper division undergraduate students who are concerned with the nature of modern and postmodern worlds." -- Shu-Ju Ada Cheng Published On: 2007-06-01
