Recenzii
“This painstakingly researched volume engagingly details Yucatán’s evolving encounter with the multi-stranded process that is globalization. In the best tradition of scholarship on the region published herein, the collection works across several disciplines and is informed by analysis at different levels of the world system. In the process, it addresses the historical determinants of globalization, the diverse ways in which global processes are experienced in urban and rural contexts, and the dilemmas and opportunities that globalization portends for the region.”
—Gilbert M. Joseph, Farnam Professor of History and International Studies, Yale University
