Reviews
"All in all this is an important, wide-ranging, and carefully produced overview of the current state of the field."—New Global Studies
"[T]his text should be read not only by graduate students, but all scholars preparing to conduct global social science research. It provides reflections on many of the complex theoretical, ethical, and practical issues that inevitably arise along the way, but that researchers are often unprepared to encounter. . . . The importance of interdisciplinary scholarship providing clear insights about how global research questions are asked and answered is rendered even more significant by this well-curated collection."—International Social Science Review
"This remarkable volume breaks new ground in the field of global studies. Going far beyond case studies, the contributors show how intensive ethnographic and historically-informed engagements can produce compelling new understandings of important changes taking place in the world today. The book is also a testament to the value of collaborative research."—Gillian Hart, University of California, Berkeley
"[A] stimulating and well-researched book that clearly makes a contribution to scholarship in global studies. . . . [O]ffers a wide variety of ways to conceptualize, represent, and investigate, or, as its title suggests, 'frame' the global."—Michael Peter Smith, University of California, Davis
"This book should be read by every scholar of globalization. It demonstrates conclusively that the locality is not the shrinking other of the wave of globalization but rather its precondition, its theater, and its co-productive other. Touching on such topics as affect, rights, materiality, and rules, the essays in the volume bring globalization into the dynamic center of some of the most vital debates in the contemporary social sciences."—Arjun Appadurai, New York University
