description: By globalization, Ynfante, a retired American scholar of various humanities, means more than the trinkets arriving from the other side of the world. He includes theology; social constructions or prejudices; migrations of people and animals; technology, science, language, and disease; wars and revolutions; capitalism and imperialism; and of course global warming. His arrangement is generally topical, though sometimes chronologically based as in the two chapters on the impact of World War II. Oddly enough, his effects of globalization include Native Americans, but not the European Americans who arrived on an earlier wave of globalization.
