It explores the quiet revolutions accompanying the three great globalizations of modern Euro-America - specifically, the realm of the unsaid, the people left behind, those that suffered inordinately to make such transformations possible. It does so from the point of view of the present, examining the legacies of colonial and imperial control in order to chart a people's history of modern progress, focussing on those who benefit least from Western prosperity and those who stand the best chance for transforming it in future. Postcolonialism and Globalization will rethink postcolonialism for its proponents as an on-going process of global modernization, one that balances a celebration of globalization with an historical perspective that contextualizes the present within a half-millennium of colonization. Recognizing that the specific situation of today constitutes an intensification of these processes on an unprecedented scale, Postcolonialism and Globalization provides a provocate sythesis of the two colossal movements of our time.
