Generations and Globalization Youth, Age, and Family in the New World Economy

". . . [S]mart and persuasive . . . At once big and small, this conceptually engaging and emotionally touching volume holds great appeal for students of age, generation, and globalization across the social disciplines."-Population and Development Review
". . . [T]his collection is well worth exploring for its insights into generational shifts that occur in the midst of processes of globalization in a cross-section of countries, including two in Africa-Botswana and Madagascar."-African Studies Review
". . . well worth the read for its insightful analyses. In particular, the case studies presented throughout the book bring to life the fact that globalization does not take place 'out there.' Rather, it takes place as individuals continuously make decisions about specific relationships and through their struggle to shape livable environments in the present and future. Indeed, we are aptly reminded that it is as much in the home and in families, as in financial markets and international agreements, that the reproduction - and regeneration - of populations and societies takes place.Vol. 36.1-2, Spring/Summer, 2009"-Barbara A.
