This book brings together some of the most influential new research from the world-systems perspective. The authors survey and analyze new and emerging topics from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, from political science to archaeology. Each analytical essay is written in accessible language so that the volume serves as a lucid introduction both to the tradition of world-systems thought and the new debates that are sparking further research today.
"From the Stone Age to the stoned age and from Appalachia to Zanzibar, A World-Systems Reader takes students on a fascinating journey through time and space. The authors demonstrate the range and versatility of this vital and expanding social science perspective through both deft summaries and in-depth examples of contemporary research. A World-Systems Reader is thus an excellent choice for courses on social change."—Walter Goldfrank, University of California
