Two distinguished anthropologists provide a masterful overview of the history and importance of the global systemic approach in anthropology. They demonstrate how the global is embedded in real lives, not as another place or level of reality, but as a mere aspect of social reality, and thus, ethnographically accessible. They present data from their last two decades of research showing how the global systemic framework provides a means of studying the relation between cultural identity and global processes. This comprehensive study will be a valuable resource for theoreticians and fieldworkers in anthropology, archaeology, social and political theory, and world history.
