A foundational work in the study of the globalization of culture. First published in 1991, Culture, Globalization and the World-System is one of the inaugural books discussing the increasing tendency of cultural practices to cross national boundaries. Now widely available in the United States for the first time and updated with a new preface, these influential essays by a distinguished group of scholars and cultural critics lay the groundwork for a vital and exciting new field of inquiry. Culture, Globalization and the World-System views culture through different prisms and categories-including race, gender, ethnicity, class, and nation. The contributors consider how socially organized systems of meaning are produced and represented.

"A valuable contribution. The breadth of perspectives offered in this volume grant insight into the coming together of 'the world as a single place' that is absolutely necessary." -Urban Geography
