An Anthropology of Globalization traces human beginnings in Africa to migration to other parts of the world to post-modern hyper-globalizing cultures and unprecedented global interconnectivity. Empire and capitalism as fundamental driving forces of globalization are theorized. Financial integration, globalizing meta-narratives, mechanisms of soft and hard power, and superpower politics are all canvased by the book. Some important positive effects of globalization on humans and negative effects of globalization on humans and the environment are identified throughout the book. It concludes with twelve stratagems for greater freedom and liberty in the post-modern globalized world to enhance the positive effects of globalization, advocating the reversing of some trends such as hyper-market liberalization, neoliberal, and excessively culturally homogenizing forms of globalization.
