New Book:

A World-Systems Reader: New Perspectives on Gender, Urbanism, 
Cultures, Indigenous Peoples, and Ecology, edited by Thomas D. 
Hall. 2000. Boulder, CO: Rowman and Littlefield Press.

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 rand 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, 
Santa Cruz
