Transnational Connections: Culture, People, Places

Transnational Connections provides a lucid account of culture in age of globalization. Hannerz argues that, in an ever-more interconnected world, national understandings of culture have become insufficient. He not only engages with theoretical debates about culture and globalisation but raises issues of how we think and live today. His account of the experience of global culture encopasses a shouting matcha in a New York stree about Salman Rushdie; a papal visit to the Maya Indians; Kung Fu dancers in Nigeria and Rastafarians in Amsterdam; the nostalgia o foreign correspondents and the surprising experiences of tourists in a world city or on a Borneo photo safari. Ulf Hannerz is Professor of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University.
