Description: Beginning with the two-part recognition that the world is a smaller place and that it is indeed many worlds, Cosmopolitanism and Place critically explores what it means to assert that all people are citizens of the world, everywhere in the world, as well as persons bounded by a universal and shared morality.
Review Quotes:
"The essays in this rich volume challenge many of the standard cultural, moral, and political meanings of cosmopolitanism, especially those of universalism, world citizenship, and global justice."--Emily Zakin, editor of Bound by the City: Greek Tragedy, Sexual Difference, and the Formation of the Polis
"These essays offer many beautiful, eloquent, incisive, generative, and moving analyses of place, home, and world. They introduce some new and extremely useful terminologies: cosmopolitan hope, cosmopolitan ignorance, cosmopolitan dreaming, cosmopolitan publics, and cosmopolitan cohabitation."--Eduardo Mendieta, author of Global Fragments: Globalizations, Latinamericanisms, and Critical Theory
