Short description:
This title investigates the global city environment as a feature of everyday life. Based on ethnographic research in London, this study investigates globalization as a feature of everyday life.
MoreLong description:
Rejecting simplifying notions of globalisation as a macro-economic force, this book provides a grounded picture of the various ways in which people's biographies are tied up with the global cultural economy. The main argument of the book is that the globalisation of lives is experienced by people as the 'extension' of their 'milieux' both spatially and symbolically.
