E. San Juan Jr. mentions that globalization remains basically the export of Western commodities, priorities, and values (E. San Juan Jr., p.275-276). Essentially, he is saying that with the unequal relations of power between the West and everything else outside of the West, it allowed for Western capitalist domination. But, as he mentions, it also allowed for a wave of multiculturalism to go over many countries and influenced migrant influxes. Nowadays, my first thought when it comes to globalization and multiculturalism is music. A number of music artists these days are collaborating with artists from other genres, styles, and cultures. This industry can be looked at as having transnational capitalism as well with how much money it makes.
Q: I am curious to learn more about the downsides of globalization. What was the rest of the story of how globalization impacted the lives of migrants across the world?
