This work draws upon the full range of Wallerstein's social scientific scholarship, from his groundbreaking research on contemporary African politics and social change, to his study of the modern world-system and current essays on the new structures of knowledge emerging from the crisis of the capitalist world-economy. His singular focus on the way in which change in one part of the globe affects the whole is all the more relevant as the world grows increasingly inter-dependent. | The Essential Wallerstein by Immanuel Maurice Wallerstein, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
