Description: Bloomington : Indiana University Press, 2007. Paperback. 226 pp. Stamp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : Very good. - Looking at sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, Mexico, the US, Europe, India, and China, Generations and Globalization investigates the impact of globalization in the context of families, age groups, and intergenerational relations. The contributors offer an innovative approach that focuses on the changing dynamics between generations, rather than treating changes in childhood, youth, or old age as discrete categories. They argue that new economies and global flows do not just transform contemporary family life but are in important ways shaped and constituted by it.
