ABSTRACT
This chapter is divided into two main parts. The first deconstructs several emergent dimensions of the globalization of culture and “global cities” that now characterize the lived experiences of transnational migrants, exiles, and refugees. The second focuses on the ways in which new transnational and global grassroots movements are already practicing modes of consciousness and action that move our political imaginary beyond the limits of the global-local duality in social theory and its practical expression in the popular slogan: “Think globally, act locally.”
