Summary
  • "This book tells the important story of three Latin American communities experiencing globalization at the point of contact between tradition and modernity: Brazil's rubber tappers, Bolivia's Guarani Indians, and Nicaragua's women cooperativists. Through exclusive, in-depth interviews, Heyck describes globalization and development in the words of people who are experiencing these forces at the grassroots level.
  • The result is a multifaceted understanding of local and global connections and of the human, cultural, and religious dimensions of globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
