ISBN: 0822338637 Binding: Paperback Edition: Author(s): Arjun Appadurai Publisher: Duke University Press Number of Pages: 176
The period since 1989 has been marked by the global endorsement of open markets the free flow of finance capital and liberal ideas of constitutional rule and the active expansion of human rights Why then in this era of intense globalization has there been a proliferation of violence of ethnic cleansing on the one hand and extreme forms of political violence against civilian populations on the otherFear of Small Numbers is Arjun Appadurais answer to that question A leading theorist of globalization Appadurai turns his attention to the complex dynamics fueling large-scale culturally motivated violence from the genocides that racked Eastern Europe Rwanda and India in the early 1990s to the contemporary war on terror Providing a conceptually innovative framework for understanding sources of global violence he describes how the nation-state has grown ambivalent about minorities at the same time that minorities because of global communication technologies and migration flows increasingly see themselves as parts of powerful global majorities By exacerbating the inequalities produced by globalization the volatile slippery relationship between majorities and minorities foments the desire to eradicate cultural differenceAppadurai analyzes the darker side of globalization: suicide bombings; anti-Americanism; the surplus of rage manifest in televised beheadings; the clash of global ideologies; and the difficulties that flexible cellular organizations such as Al-Qaeda present to centralized vertebrate structures such as national governments Powerful provocative and timely Fear of Small Numbers is a thoughtful invitation to rethink what violence is in an age of globalization
