Spectacular Cities
Religion, Landscape, and the Dialectics of Globalization
Description:... Academic work on globalisation often tends to segment it into either economic, cultural or political globalisation. This book explores the landscapes of the Akshardham temples in Gandhinagar and Delhi in India, and Atlanta, Dallas, Houston in the U.S. to understand globalisation as it unfolds in a culture economy synthesis. It demonstrates how culture, economy, and landscapes in tandem produce globalisation through migrant narratives, migrant landscapes, and theme park religious complexes.
