Kritik
"Creative and vitally important. The authors don't just note that modernity is more than a single, homogenous thing, they explore the fissures and fault lines and assess the implications for both scholarly understanding and public discourse. In doing so, they offer a hopeful and intellectually supple alternative to the often repackaged notion of a 'clash of civilizations.' "- Craig Calhoun, President, Social Science Research Council "If 'modernity' is an invention of the North Atlantic, then so is the desire to escape, negate or transcend it. Going forward would seem to demand that we critically imagine the possibilities of alternative modernities. There is no question more important for cultural studies, or for progressive politics. This volume is a major contribution to this project. It needs to be read and extended."- Lawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hillmehr
