Book Description: 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—Â'global modernity.Â' The globalization of capitalism following the fall of socialist competitors in the 1980s generated culturally informed counterclaims to modernity. Modernity, globalized, has resulted in the fragmentation of the very idea of modern. The new situation of global modernity does not break with its colonial past, but reconfigures it, as capital in its transnationalization creates new class formations that cut across divides of earlier three worlds ideas, or clear-cut distinctions between colonizers and colonized. |
