India
and the IT Revolution explores the contemporary emergence of
cosmopolitan, high-tech India as marking the arrival of a truly global
cyberculture. It argues against the notion that globalization is a
process of "Westernization," which radiates out unilaterally from the
core, imposing itself upon a passive, backward periphery. Instead, it
conceives of global culture as a dynamic, innovative network, which
proceeds primarily from its edges.
