Abstract
All of us who have come together for these discussions are trying to chart the basic dynamics of late twentieth-century globalization: the specific processes, the complexities of those processes, the resistances to those processes.
This chapter is based on an oral presentation delivered at Michigan State University on April 3, 1998 as part of a conference, ‘Globalization and its (Dis)Contents: Multiple Perspectives’ and later revised; but some of its original oral qualities have been deliberately retained here. This format accords with a variety of methodologies currently being employed, including oracy and personal narratives.
