Pourrons-nous vivre ensemble?

"Alain Touraine explores the question of how we might live together in a truly globalized world society. Rejecting the seductive metaphor of a global melting pot, touraine mounts a powerful attack on the idea that we now live together as equals, sharing the same social and cultural values. If anything, he argues, our differences are being heightened, as communities increasingly define their identities against the encroaching forces of globalization.". "This book will be of interest to second-year undergraduates and above in sociology and politics."--BOOK JACKET.
