Opis

This collection of twenty-eight essays by Italian and Italian-American scholars explores the impact of globalization on individuals' lives in both Italy and the United States. Examined are such concerns as the preservation of local cultures; the conflicting values resulting from social change; the maintenance of one's social identity and heritage; our resulting perceptions and political actions; and the effects on employment stability and workplace environment.
