"'Globalization and Belonging's headline message - that place matters, that locality remains vital to people, is arresting' - 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 'cultural' issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle. Their original argument: ; " Shows how globalisation theory conceives of the 'local'; " 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 'local' as an intrinsic aspect of globalisation; ; Theoretically rigorous, the book is brought to life with direct quotations from the authors' research, and appeals to students in urban sociology, urban geography, media studies and cultural studies."--Publisher description.
