Abstract: In this book we put globalization in place. We focus on the general as well as the particular ways that globalization is embedded in places and analyze how globalization is constituted and situated in a variety of locations from the developing world. We bring together a focused yet diverse group of chapters that examine globalization with particular emphasis on the notion of "the margins". Marginality is defined by the discourse and practices of economic, political, and cultural power. Our use of the term margins highlights the ways that global and local processes are imbricated in the less developed world. We see this as a necessary corrective to the overemphasis on the experience of the center — as if globalization only occurs in New York, London, and Tokyo. The debate on globalization is not nearly as global as it ought to be: importantly, there is another story to be told.
