[URBANTH-L]More compiled Globalization stuff

[susan mazur]

Seems to be a hot topic for a lot of us right now!
 
More people replied, so here is the updated version of the list. Also, I went to the library yesterday and found these to be very interesting and readable (i.e. I will probably assign a chapter from each):
 
Jody Heymann, Forgotten Families: Ending the Growing Crisis Confronting Children and Working Parents in the Global Economy – probably chapter one, “Who cares for preschool children?” (I am concurrently designing a cross-cultural child rearing course and updating my Community Design and Social Change course, so some overlap is a dire necessity. I’ll take suggestions on the Child rearing course as well).
 
The Global Activist’s Manual: Local Ways to change the world edited by Mike Prokosch and Laura Raymond, intro by Naomi Klein (I like to give my students real options for action)
 
Globalization and Its Discontents by Joseph Steiglitz (probably assign last chapter, “The Way Forward”)
 
and World on Fire: How exporting free market democracy breeds ethnic hatred and global instability by Amy Chua (chapter “The “Ibo of Cameroon”: Market Dominant Minorities in Africa”, looks interesting). 
 
Big Fave (Mentioned by several folks):
 
Jonathan Xavier Inda and Renato Rosaldo's The Anthropology of Globalization
 
Silver Star (couple of mentions):
 
Marc Edelman and Angelique Haugerud The Anthropology of Development and Globalization 
(grad level).
 
Honorable Mention (one apiece):
 
George Spindler and Janice Stockard's Culture Change and Globalization (which I am already using as my textbook). 
 
James C. Scott's Domination and the Arts of Resistance(1990)
 
Globalization and Culture: Global Melange by Jan Nederveen Pieterse
 
The Globalization Reader Third Edition Edited by: Frank Lechner (Emory University) and John Boli (Emory University)
