{"product_id":"global-culture-individual-identity-1","title":"Global Culture\/Individual Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost people still think of themselves as belonging to a particular culture. Yet today, many of us who live in affluent societies choose aspects of our lives from a global cultural supermarket, whether in terms of food, the arts or spiritual beliefs. So if roots are becoming simply one more consumer choice, can we still claim to possess a fundamental cultural identity?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlobal Culture\/Individual Identity\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on three groups for whom the tension between a particular national culture and the global cultural supermarket is especially acute: Japanese artists, American religious seekers and Hong Kong intellectuals after the handover to China. These ethnographic case studies form the basis for a theory of culture which we can all see reflected in our own lives.\u003cbr\u003eGordon Mathews opens up the complex and debated topics of globalization, culture and identity in a clear and lively style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235949334872,"sku":"9780415206167","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415206167_1b834956-c4b4-4659-8136-bd00c1f9f394.jpg?v=1770165048","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/global-culture-individual-identity-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
