Modernity at Large by Arjun Appadurai - 9780816627936

ISBN-13: 9780816627936, 978-0816627936. Author(s): Arjun Appadurai. The world is growing smaller. Appadurai simultaneously explores and explodes boundaries-between how we imagine the world and how that imagination influences our self-understanding, between social institutions and their effects on the people who participate in them, between nations and peoples that seem to be ever more homogeneous and yet ever more filled with differences.
