Product Description
*Links development issues generally treated in isolation

*Demonstrates how global transformations affect real people and communities

As globalization rapidly replaces the cold war paradigm, the narrow distribution of benefits from globalization has created a disturbing gap in wealth and power both among and within states. In an impassioned style, Jan Black analyzes the problems of increased nationalism, growing refugee populations, and the politics of exclusion. This is a critical and brutally honest commentary on the complex transformation from a bipolar world to a global village.

Up-to-date and Close-up look at Global Inquality., 1999-12-18
I will assign this book to my senior-level World Affairs class. It gives a timely and close-up look at both the structural causes of poverty and its human consequences. Jan Knippers Black integrates graphic detail with descriptions of larger trends. She has a good conceptual grasp of global trends and is not shy about directly linking poverty to the policies of corporations, national governments, and international financial institutions. Inequality in the Global Village is well written and organized in a way that will appeal to caring citizens.
