Grounded Globalism: How the U.S. South Embraces the World

At the end of his amply documented analysis, the author synthesizes the model of interpretation presented in the book's first chapter: "If grounded globalism summarizes an anchoring and embodiment of a global process, then the South epitomizes that grounding in its struggle to transcend regional oppositionality and dualism while retaining a regional identity and also defining its own global identity" (p. 258). [...] this well-crafted book offers optimistic expectations not only for the U.S. South but also for international and transnational relationships.
