This book collects the best new research on globalization and human subjectivity in a classic "nation of immigrants". Contributors from the fields of sociology, anthropology, history and women's studies focus on the everyday social interactions that have made schools, workplaces and neighborhoods key sites of cultural creativity, transformation and resistance.
