Transnational Connections

Meer over het boek

Exploring the complexities of culture in a globalized world, Ulf Hannerz challenges traditional notions of locality, community, and identity. He examines how cultural exchanges and interactions redefine our understanding of modernity, illustrated through diverse scenarios like a debate over Salman Rushdie in New York and a papal visit to the Maya. By weaving together various cultural experiences, from kung-fu dancers in Nigeria to Rastafarians in Amsterdam, Hannerz invites readers to reconsider how globalization shapes our lives and perceptions today.
