• Sommario/riassunto: Despite its rapid transformation, Charlotte remains distinctively southern--globalizing, not yet global. This book brings together an interdisciplinary team of leading scholars and local experts to ask what happens when the forces of globalization combine with a city's internal dynamics to reshape local structures, landscapes, and identities.
