“Julian Kunnie’s book examines some of the major negative effects of global-ization, particularly on disenfranchised and marginalized people, including poorand indigenous groups, as well as on the environment and climate change and

global warming. Given the various areas covered, this book can easily be adopted in numerous courses in the social sciences andhumanities and should be required reading for all interested in understanding the complex dynamics of globalization, by anindividual who has traveled the world doing research and teaching.”—Celestino Fernández, University of Arizona.

Over the past 25 years, numerous books have been written on the advantages and disadvantages of globalization. But theissues arising from rapid global integration have generally been treated in isolation by most academic works. This volume exam-ines the many pitfalls of globalization from the perspective of impoverished and indigenous peoples, including the wideningwealth gap, the struggle for restoration of dispossessed lands and cultural rights, global warming and ecological annihilation, andthe experiences of women in underdeveloped regions who receive little benefit from their labor and are subject to violence. TheUnited States’ growing prison industrial complex is discussed as an outgrowth of globalization practices that restrict economicmobility. The author concludes with a call for reassessing current ways of living and proposes recreating cultures of conservationand sustainable economies in harmony with the Earth.
