About this book
Reviews
“This is a terrific multidisciplinary edited book on globalization—an imperative topic of our time. Probing its impact on individual and collective identities, the international group of scholars take the reader on an illuminating tour of ways that globalization touches and transforms customs and values, consumption and education, immigration and civics, politics and power. It’s a tour de force on a topic that impacts us all.” (Lene Jensen, PhD, Senior Research Scientist, Clark University​)
“This sophisticated book offers pioneering examinations of the impacts of globalization on self and identity development. Organized around methodologically diverse social-psychological perspectives, the essays collected in this volume reach across rigid disciplinary divides. Most importantly, the contributors manage to illuminate some major causes and manifestations of our contemporary age of the “Great Unsettling”—shorthand for intensification of uncertainty and insecurity in the concrete lives of ordinary people around the world. Highly recommended!” (Manfred B. Steger, PhD. Professor of Sociology, University of Hawai'i)
“The book presents an exciting mosaic of research papers and reviews reflecting on the various ways in which globalization impacts conceptualizations and experiences of self and identity. It will provide the reader to discover related issues from a perspective of different fields and geographic locations. It also proves the importance of culture for attitudes toward globalization and shows the need to continue research on global identity in different cultural contexts.” (Katarzyna Hamer, PhD Associate Professor, Polish Academy of Sciences)
“As the Covid pandemic seems to be the critical juncture of our period this is timely book. It is valuable contribution to the evolving interdisciplinary filed that inspect the nexus between the self and global processes. The collections of chapters provide conceptual clarifications and empirical illustrations that can be used by scholars across different fields as well as by students in various courses.” (Gal Ariely, PhD., Professor, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev)
