Review Quotes: «Global what? Global how? Global who? We're all struggling with how to make sense of globalization. Through an agile blend of interview, theorization, and case study, the editors of Talking Back to Globalization have both answered these questions and added a further - how to respond, how to contest, how to think otherwise. Bravo!» (Toby Miller, Universidad del Norte, Colombia)
«This wide-ranging collection highlights how opportunities for cultural mixing are both bait and consequence of a pervasive social system prioritizing market-driven exchange. The chapters stress the importance not just of 'talking back' but of completely reframing conversations about neoliberal-driven globalization.» (Erika Polson, University of Denver)
