[Dancecult-l] Book "Global Nomads" (Routledge ILS - Relaunch)

[Anthony D'Andrea]

Dear Dancecult-l  list members:

I'd like to announce that my book Global Nomads: Techno and New Age as Transnational Countercultures in Ibiza and Goa is now available in affordable paperback. A study on cultural globalization, it examines the social life of highly mobile expatriates involved in global circuits of countercultural practice and international tourism.  

Of particular interest to EDM scholars, the book explores how global centers of clubbing (Ibiza) and psytrance (Goa) evolve upon a productive tension between their countercultural origins and commodification/surveillance regimes. It includes specific analyses of trance parties, mega nightclubs and DJs through the prism of tribal religiosity, social ecology, and economic geography.

Based on my doctoral research at the Department of Anthropology at the University of Chicago, Global Nomads is being now relaunched by Routledge in its premium series International Library of Sociology.  Widely available at online booksellers (Amazon, eBay, Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc.), it can also be found at Routledge official website:

Anthony
