Paper: Write a short paper about our anthropological study of the process of culture transformation under neoliberal globalization. Goals: How can we describe and understand the process of contemporary globalization at the local level? What do these seemingly small stories tell us about larger macro processes at work? The goal is to understand how things are linked together, even if they seem to be distinct. KEY: Do not simply summarize the content of the texts. 1. Compare and contrast the texts: what are common themes that emerge across these books? 2. Why do they look different? 3. What makes them similar? 4. End your paper with your own evaluation of these themes and globalization at our contemporary moment. 5. You must use Perry, Fisher and Joo. 6. In addition, you can use any of the other material we have read or viewed as you need to complete your argument.
