      Book Overview

      Is there cultural life after the clash of civilizations and global McDonaldization? Internationally award-winning author Jan Nederveen Pieterse argues that what is taking place is the formation of a global m lange, a culture of hybridization.

By using the idea of hybridity as a working thesis, he argues that mixing and border crossing have been and remain important and unavoidable elements in cultural...
