» Globalization: Now in Extra Small (RA, 3:38)
Globalization, as Manuel Vásquez and Friedmann Marquardt explain in their book, and as she describes here, is about the world getting much smaller, and about the issues and complexities that are brought on.
» Immigration Now vs. Then (RA, 0:49)
In her interview with Krista, Friedmann Marquardt points out that immigration today is different from immigration of the past.
» Doraville Research (RA, 4:54)
Krista asks Friedmann Marquardt about a research project in Doraville, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, in which she was involved. Although globalization was not the aim of the research, an understanding of it turned out to be the surprising result.
» Transnationalism (RA, 2:49)
Friedmann Marquardt uses Feast Day, religious holidays celebrated in small towns all over Mexico, to illustrate "transnationalism," and how religion plays a role giving immigrants meaning in their lives.
» Latin Allure (RA, 1:49)
Marquardt uses the popularity of charismatic movements in Latin America as another example of transnationalism and the role religion plays in giving immigrants a sense of identity. |
