Globalisation cover

This insightful collection examines the effects of globalization on anthropology, showcasing innovative methodologies and diverse topics. Globalisation is essential for researchers and educators alike.

The book Globalisation delves into the profound effects that globalization has had on the field of anthropology. Leading anthropologists explore the methodological challenges that have emerged as a result of these changes. The essays collectively illustrate how the focus has transitioned from traditional, site-specific studies to a broader examination of movements and shifts driven by heightened migration and population flows in our increasingly interconnected world.

In Globalisation, a diverse group of distinguished anthropologists presents innovative approaches to the discipline, adapting to the realities of a globalized society. This book serves as an essential resource for higher education, making it a vital teaching text and required reading for practitioners and researchers across various emerging disciplines. The contributions highlight the necessity of evolving methodologies to keep pace with the changing landscape of anthropological research.

The topics covered in Globalisation are wide-ranging, including the methodology of internet studies, global and spatial identities in the Caribbean, shifting boundaries in coastal communities, and the anthropology of political life. Additionally, the book addresses legal issues and the flow of human substances, as well as the diffusion of moral values shaped by globalization. Collectively, these essays provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of globalization on anthropological practices.
