Based on extensive fieldwork, Funk illuminates how these elites navigate their Arab ancestry, Latin American host cultures, and roles as protagonists of globalization. With the term \"rooted globalism,\" Funk captures the emergence of classed intersectional identities that are simultaneously local, national, transnational, and global. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on an oft-ignored axis of South-South relations (between Latin America and the Arab world), \u003ci\u003eRooted Globalism\u003c\/i\u003e provides detailed analysis of the identities, worldviews, and motivations of this group and ultimately reveals that rather than obliterating national identities, global capitalism relies on them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46416729800855,"sku":"9780253062543","price":3758.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780253062543.webp?v=1769064523","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rooted-globalism-arab-latin-american-business-elites-and-the-politics-of-global-imaginaries-9780253062543","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
