Globalized Identities / Progress in Mathematics (PDF)

"Globalisation is a journey, not a destination'. This observation by a journalist many years ago captures the essence of the messages in this new book. The contacts and interactions brought about by the processes of globalisation, whether regional or world-wide, have no single or clear outcome. Nor is the phenomenon new; past empires provide many lessons for us at present as we experience this great variety in how the process plays out. This book draws our attention to the complexity of the contemporary version of the phenomenon of globalisation."

"This is a terrific multidisciplinary edited book on globalization-an imperative topic of our time. Probing its impact on individual and collective identities, the international group of scholars take the reader on an illuminating tour of ways that globalization touches and transforms customs and values, consumption and education, immigration and civics, politics and power. It's a tour de force on a topic that impacts us all."

- Lene Jensen, PhD, Senior Research Scientist, Clark University¿
