Sommario/riassunto

Drawing on long-term empirical research into cultural practices lifestyle and identities, this volume explores how far-reaching global changes are articulated locally. The authors address key sociological issues of stratification as analysis alongside 'cultural' issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle.
