Editorial Reviews
Review
In this timely and engaging book, Sheila Croucher provides a compelling account of the ways in which contemporary identities are being reshaped by the process of globalization. Globalization and Belonging pulls the reader into the twenty-first century world of consolidating and fragmenting polities, economies, and identities. In amply illustrated chapters linking globalization to citizenship, nations, ethnicity, and gender, Croucher reveals globalization’s power to create new identities that both span national borders and fracture national unity.–Joane Nagel, author of Race, Ethnicity, and Sexuality: Intimate Intersections, Forbidden Frontiers
Sheila Croucher has written an exceptionally smart and engaging book. It challenges the conventional wisdom on a range of issues; it proposes sensible conceptual and theoretical alternatives; and it proves that good writing and political science are not mutually exclusive.–Alexander J. Motyl, Rutgers University-Newark
Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate classes considering globalization from a variety of social science perspectives–political, sociological, and international, Globalization and Belonging defines the dynamics of ethnicity and identity formation in such persuasive terms that it will become a standard read in the field.–John F. Stack, Jr., Florida International University
