Everyday Lives in the Global City

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the intricate relationship between individual lives and the global cultural economy, the book challenges simplistic views of globalization. It argues that globalization is not just an economic phenomenon but is experienced personally as an extension of one's environment, both in physical space and symbolic meaning. Through this lens, the author explores how personal biographies intertwine with broader global processes, providing a nuanced understanding of globalization's impact on everyday life.
