Summary

Summary

Bringing together 12 ethnographic studies of post-apartheid South Africa, this reference focuses on the emergence of new South African identities with both strong, local characteristics and powerful, global influences. It shows how, in different ways--through adoption, adaptation, avoidance, and resistance--South Africans are responding to the forces and connections of globalization.
