"e;A compelling essay on the contemporary human condition."e; William D. Coleman, Director of the Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition, McMaster University "e;An unusually perceptive and balanced appraisal of the globalization hype and its relation to the reality of global capitalism."e; Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale University In his provocative new book Arif Dirlik argues that the present represents not the beginning of globalization, but its end. We are instead in a new era in the unfolding of capitalism -- "e;global modernity"e;. The fall of communism in the 1980s generated culturally informed counter-claims to modernity. Globalization has fragmented our understanding of what is "e;modern"e;. Dirlik's "e;global modernity"e; is a concept that enables us to distinguish the present from its Eurocentric past, while recognizing the crucial importance of that past in shaping the present.
