A World Beyond Difference unpacks the globalization literature and offers a valuable critique: one that is forthright, yet balanced, and draws on the local work of ethnographers to counter relativist and globalist discourses.

* Presents a lively conceptual and historical map of how we think about the emerging socio-political world, and above all how we think politically about human cultural differences

* Interprets, criticizes, and frames responses to world culture

* Draws from the work of recent major social theorists, comparing them to classical social theorists in an instructive manner

* Grounds critique of theory in years of ethnographic research
