      abstract = {"In this book, Justin Jennings argues that globalization  is not just a phenomenon limited to modern times. Instead  he contends that the globalization of today is just the  latest in a series of globalizing movements in human  history. Using the Uruk, Mississippian, and Wari  civilizations as case studies, Jennings examines how the  growth of the world,♯s̥ first great cities radically  transformed their respective areas. The cities required  unprecedented exchange networks, creating long-distance  flows of ideas, people, and goods. These flows created  cascades of interregional interaction that eroded local  behavioral norms and social structures. New, hybrid  cultures emerged within these globalized regions. Although  these networks did not span the whole globe, people in  these areas developed globalized cultures as they  interacted with one another. Jennings explores how  understanding globalization as a recurring event can help  in the understanding of both the past and the present"--},
