â²Globalization and Belongingâ²s headline message - that place matters, that locality remains vital to people, is arrestingâ² - Frank Webster, Professor of Sociology, City University, London Drawing on long-term empirical research into cultural practices, lifestyles and identities, Globalization and Belonging explores how far-reaching global changes are articulated locally. The authors address key sociological issues of stratification as analysis alongside â²culturalâ² issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle. Their original argument: \" Shows how globalisation theory conceives of the â²localâ² \" Reveals that people have a sense of elective belonging based on where they choose to put down roots \" Suggests that the feel of a place is much more strongly influenced by the values and lifestyles of those migrating to it \" reinvigorates debates in urban and community studies by recovering the â²localâ² as an intrinsic aspect of globalisation Theoretically rigorous, the book is brought to life with direct quotations from the authorsâ² research, and appeals to students in urban sociology, urban geography, media studies and cultural studies. |
