In the decades since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States forces of cultural, economic, and political integration appear locked in battle with equally powerful forces of fragmentation. Globalization is facilitating unprecedented movement of goods, services, people, and ideas, while calls for building walls, erecting fences, and strengthening borders intensify. Citizenship is morphing as highly mobile individuals possess membership in more than one state--some acquired through purchase. Nationalism, once predicted to wane, has been invigorated--often in highly exclusionary forms. Tensions flare around claims of deeply rooted ethnic and civilizational identities--identities that are shaped and mobilized via sophisticated advances in technology. Women worldwide are achieving remarkable economic and political gains while sexual violence and gender inequalities persist and are fueled by rapid global change. This book explores the complex inter-relationship between globalization and belonging. In a hyper-modern, 21st century world, questions and conflicts surrounding who 'we' are and who 'we' want to be predominate. This book links the politics of different forms of identification and attachment to the dynamics of an increasingly interconnected world.
