Frontmatter -- CONTENTS -- Civil Antiglobalism and the Question of Class -- Re-Theorizing Social Movements in a Changing Global Space -- Mind the Gap: On Post-National Idea(l)s and the Nationalist Reality -- Postcolonial Discourse in the Age of Globalization -- Champagne Liberals and the New ‘Dangerous Classes’: Reconfigurations of Class, Identity and Cultural Production in the Contemporary Global System -- Shifting the Frame from Nation-State to Global Market: Class and Social Consciousness in the Advanced Capitalist Countries -- Notes on Contributors
Summary: The effects of globalization have led to accentuated social inequality in most first-world countries, above all the U.S. and U.K. International trade and capital flows have tended to redistribute income in ways that aggravate inequality in advanced industrialized nations where relative income levels of the salaried middle class and the working class are being eroded, resulting in a downward mobility of these classes. At the same time, unwaged forms of labor, including forced labor and slavery, in poorer regions more and more replace wage labor in developed countries. Informed by an anthropological, humanistic perspective, the contributors in this provocative volume offer critical analyses and alternative visions.
