About the Book

Unpacking Globalization examines the experiences of people living with the forces that are transforming economic systems, culture, gender relationships and governance. The book offers interdisciplinary analysis of the well-being of women and men as they cope with the changes of globalization. Through theory, case studies, and data, several themes emerge indicating that from the household to the continental level, change is leading to new awareness and new survival strategies for both women and men. The contributors to the volume come from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. They present analysis of global changes and historical background from diverse perspectives and offer case studies on social security, gender, and macroeconomy. They employ feminist theory as well as detail the experiences of current and future women entrepreneurs. An exciting interdisciplinary text, Unpacking Globalization can supplement women's studies, anthropology, sociology, and economic development courses.

Review :
This book provides a vibrant portrait that demonstrates the variety of ways daily life has and is changing across the globe under the new economic rules of the game known as globalization. The achievement of this book is that it gives readers a front row seat to observe the ways that women in diverse circumstances cope, adapt, and strategize in response to and in resistance to a new macroeconomic regime. Detailed accounts such as these are precisely what are needed as policymakers and academics work to formulate remedies to offset the negative impacts of globalization. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduate through professional collections. Anyone concerned with the complex effects of the contemporary weakening of national borders, "globalization," will surely find much of interest in this collection's 28 chapters. We should all stand in awe at the creativity and resourcefulness of men and women confronting such profound changes, whose gender dimensions are carefully examined in each of the studies of the book.
