Description from DukeHub
Same as Cultural Anthropology 210 except in seminar format. Globalization examined through some of its dominant cultural forms, the marketing of pop music, the globalization of TV culture, the spread of markets and commodities, the export of political ideologies. Special focus given to the way in which these forms both affect and are transformed by local cultures in Africa, South Asia, East Asia, and Latin America.
