Saskia Sassen is an internationally recognized expert on globalization whose writings have appeared in journals and magazines worldwide. Globalization and Its Discontents is a collection of Sassen’s essays dealing with topics such as the “global city,” gender and migration (reconceived as the globalization of labor), information technology, and the new dynamics of inequality. Sassen brings together cultural and literary studies, feminist theory, political economics, sociology, and political science, showing how vast the chasm between metropolitan business centers and low-income inner cities has become. Incisive and original, she takes on common political, cultural, and economic misconceptions of globalization and offers a thoughtful, provocative new look at our increasingly global society.

Review:
Perhaps the most important story of the 1990s is the rapid acceleration of economic globalization... A serious look at precisely how globalization has been unfolding. -- Tikkun

Provocative... [Sassen] offers new ways of thinking about the benefits and downside of globalization. -- Publishers Weekly
