Описание:

In recent decades, hundreds of millions of people across the world have moved from rural areas to metropolitan regions, some of them crossing national borders on the way. While urbanization and globalization are proceeding with an intensity that seems unprecedented, these are only the most recent iterations of long-term transformations—cities have for centuries served as vital points of contact between different peoples, economies, and cultures. Making Cities Global explores the intertwined development of urbanization and globalization using a historical approach that demonstrates the many forms transnationalism has taken, each shaped by the circumstances of a particular time and place. It also emphasizes that globalization has not been persistent or automatic—many people have been as likely to resist or reject outside connections as to establish or embrace them.
The essays in the collection revolve around three foundational themes. The first is an emphasis on connections among the United States, East and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and South Asia. Second, contributors ground their studies of globalization in the built environments and everyday interactions of the city, because even world-spanning practices must be understood as people experience them in their neighborhoods, workplaces, stores, and streets. Last is a fundamental concern with the role powerful empires and nation-states play in the emergence of globalizing and urbanizing processes.
Making Cities Global argues that combining urban history with a transnational approach leads to a richer understanding of our increasingly interconnected world. In order to achieve prosperity, peace, and sustainability in metropolitan areas in the present and into the future, we must understand their historical origins and development.

Описание: Born in Southern California and raised in Hawaii, Corky Sandoval grew up around surfing and surf culture. He would be the first to admit that he himself wasn't the best surfer, but he was, in his words, committed. Returning to the mainland after high school, he decided to try to surf in as many locations in the United States as possible. Traveling in an old Plymouth with his best friend, Gabe, he worked his way across the country, meeting some interesting characters and enjoying many unexpected adventures. He even had the opportunity to meet his idol, surf champion Corky Carroll, on Virginia Beach. Little did Corky know that he would discover some jarring facts about his background that would change his life forever.
