Globalisation and New Identities: A View from the MiddlePeter Alexander, Marcelle C. Dawson, Meera Ichharam Bringing together 12 ethnographic studies of post-apartheid South Africa, this reference focuses on the emergence of new South African identities with both strong, local characteristics and powerful, global influences. It shows how, in different ways-- through adoption, adaptation, avoidance, and resistance-- South Africans are responding to the forces and connections of globalization. |
