Explore the forces shaping our interconnected world with this groundbreaking work on global connection. Moving beyond ‘clash of cultures,’ this profound ethnography uses friction as a metaphor for the complex, messy interactions that define globalization. Through a vivid case study of Indonesian rainforests, it reveals how diverse entrepreneurs, environmentalists, and international actors reshape landscapes and economies in unpredictable ways. Essential reading for students of anthropology, sociology, and environmental studies, and for anyone seeking to understand the nuances of contemporary global dynamics and cross-cultural encounters.
