Conclusion: An Age of Encounter?. “Nicholas Barnett has written a fresh, postwar global history book that one wants to read. Cultural Encounters in the Age of Globalism explores how disparate societies around the world interact with one another, for better or for worse. His case studies—tourism, world’s fairs, and the Olympic Games among them—transcend academic interest into the pop culture realm. Any professor teaching a post-WWII transnational history course would do well to put this book on the reading list.” — David Strittmatter, Ohio Northern University, USA This textbook examines encounters between different cultures during the Global Age, outlining their historical, social, political, and economic contexts. Based around themes including tourism, migration, protest, display of cultures, and the examination of ‘mega-events’ like the Olympics, the book explores the ways in which people were able to experience other cultures from 1945 onwards. The author questions the impact of these encounters, discussing whether they led to cultural hybridity or contrastingly, divergence. By bringing together a selection of themes and considering their national and transnational impact, this textbook provides insights for those studying international politics and global history. At a time when globalism is questioned by politicians and campaigners, this timely book examines its impact on groups of people and the systems under which they live.
