1. Being & Becoming Global=1

"In Zarafshan" The Morning News : "...using photos available on Google Earth, I find that from the ground, and despite the city's hellish location and less-than-organic creation, Zarafshan doesn't really resemble a 24th-century postapocalyptic ghost town." / Tyler Olsen=2

"Globalization : Two Visions of the Future of Humanity" National Public Radio : "Unless we find ways to respect and celebrate our differences while jointly creating an atmosphere of open exchange and mutual understanding, I fear that the utopian world of the future will have a very dystopian bend to it." / Marcelo Gleiser=7

"The Shattered Mirror" Excerpt from Cosmpolitanism : "You can be genuinely engaged with the ways of other societies without approving, let alone adopting, them." / Kwame Anthony Appiah=10

"A Mickey Mouse Approach to Globalization" Yale Global Online : "These examples of American products taking on distinctly new cultural meanings when moved from the US to China are useful in undermining superficial assertions equating globalization with 'Americanization'. But it is important not to stop there." / Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom=20

"The Subway Falafel Sandwich and the Americanization of Ethnic Food" Good : "As generations settle in, the food, like the ethnic group itself, becomes subsumed into American culture : Think chow mein takeout, or drive-through Taco Bell. As later generations stabilize, they tend to cultivate an appreciation of ethnic difference alongside Americanness." / Tanveer Ali=24

2. Identity & Place=29

"Lonely Places" Excerpt from Falling Off the Map : "So it is that Lonely Places attract as many lonely people as they produce, and the loneliness we see in them is partly in ourselves." / Pico Iyer=31

"The Last Inuit of Quebec" The Smart Set : "He was an ace student in high school but dropped out of a Montreal college after just three semesters, homesick. 'It wasn't the problem of going to school,' he said, 'it was more the problem that I couldn't go hunting.'" / Justin Nobel=38

"A Gentle Madness" Granta : "When I was twelve, my parents decided to leave Pakistan and move our family to Abu Dhabi. My heart, I thought, would never recover. But I needn't have worried. The country came with me : it moved in, set up home, breathing inside me a stream of remembrances that, for twenty-eight years, have inflected the most minute details of my present life." / Humera Afridi=48

"In Search of Black Identity in Uganda" Glimpse : "Thinking that I could come to Uganda and, just by being black, relate in any meaningful way would have been rather naïve. It's not that I expected this ; I just still held out hope that it was possible." / Julian Hill=53

"All the Disappearing Islands" Mother Jones : "Today, roughly 1 million people live on coral islands worldwide, and many more millions live on low-lying real estate vulnerable to the rising waves. At risk are not just people, but unique human cultures, born and bred in watery isolation." / Julia Whitty=62

3. Body, Mind, & Spirit=77

"Birth" Excerpt from The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down : A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures : "When a Hmong dies, his or her soul must travel back from place to place, retracing the path of its life geography, until it reaches the burial place of its placental jacket, and puts it on." / Anne Fadiman=78

"Do Some Cultures Have Their Own Ways of Going Mad?" Boston Globe : "Depending on whom you ask, the notion that some cultures have their own ways of going crazy is either the ultimate in cultural sensitivity or the ultimate in Western condescension." / Latif Nasser=88

"Pursuing the Science of Happiness" Oregon Humanities : "Yet, even if we could have it all, even if we recognize happiness as dependent upon seemingly valorous statistical correlates such as healthy relationships, purposeful work, and making meaningful contributions to a community, there is room for critique." / Andrew Guest=94

"Plasticize Me" Guernica : "Is posing a dead man with a tennis racket wrong? Is a failure to make specific provisions for the treatment of one's remains the same as giving one's body to science? Does the education offered by an anatomy exhibit offer the same kind of public good as organ donation? To put all this in the simplest and starkest terms : What are the dead for?" / Peter Manseau=103

"Why Americans Won't Do Dirty Jobs" Bloomberg Businessweek : "At a moment when the country is relentlessly focused on unemployment, there are still jobs that often go unfilled. These are difficult, dirty, exhausting jobs that, for previous generations, were the first rickety step on the ladder to prosperity. They still are—just not for Americans." / Elizabeth Dwoskin=115

"You Can Take It with You" The Smart Set : "The backpack of the 1960s was roughly the size of one's back. It had straps to attach to the back and maybe a few extra pockets. The backpack of today is the size of a small person. It is equipped with external and internal pockets, and the pockets are often custom-fitted for specific items : umbrellas, iPods, water bottles, cameras, computers." / Stefany Anne Golberg=124

4. Languages in Contact=133

"How Does Our Language Shape the Way We Think?" Edge : "Language is central to our experience of being human, and the languages we speak profoundly shape the way we think, the way we see the world, the way we live our lives." / Lera Boroditsky=135

"Death by Monoculture" University of Cambridge : Research : "After having spent a year in a remote Arctic community which speaks a vulnerable, minority language and whose cultural foundations are being rocked by climate change, it is clear to me that the link between environmental and cultural vulnerability is genuine and that the two are interwoven." / Stephen Pax Leonard=145

"Passing the Test" World Policy Journal : "By pursuing more restrictive immigration policies in the name of integration, European political leaders are not only being disingenuous in their aims, but risk the opposite outcome—estranging the very immigrant communities they say they wish to see better integrated." / James Angelos=149

"The New Language Landscape" The Hindu : "Fifty years down the line, will we be surprised if English becomes the single spoken language and kids go to special schools to learn India's regional languages?" / Reshma Krishnamurthy Sharma=164

"Operation Mind Your Language" Open : "Wherever you go in Afghanistan, you will face Americans. That is why English has gained a very high position there. Before the Americans, there were the Russians. At that time, many of our people learnt the Russian language. God-willing, when we return, we will teach the new generation English." / Pallavi Polanki=167

"The Church of Please and Thank You" This Magazine : "In addition to the 380 million people worldwide who use English as their first language, it's estimated there are 350 million to 500 million speakers of English as a foreign language (EFL)—and the number is growing. For people from affluent and developing nations alike, it is clear that the secret passwords to safety, wealth and freedom can be whispered only in English." / Julie Traves=172

5. Communication & Technology=183

"A Small World After All?" Wilson Quarterly : "The unexpected outbreak of the Arab Spring, a mystery that's still unfolding, suggests that we may not be getting this full picture, or the deep, unconventional thinking we need. Had you asked an expert on the Middle East what changes were likely to take place in 2011, almost none would have predicted the Arab Spring, and none would have chosen Tunisia as the flashpoint for the movement." / Ethan Zuckerman=185

"Can You Hear Us Now?" World Ark : "I've always admired the ingenious ways that people in the developing world jerry-rig solutions to their problems. I've seen wheelbarrows assembled from sticks and boards, frying pans made from old car parts, and irrigation channels constructed from the husks of banana trees. I've even read of people making cars and a helicopter from scratch." / Frank Bures=192

"The New Social Media and the Arab Spring" Oxford Islamic Studies Online : "In cyberspace, the social restrictions that exist in reality in some places—such as gender segregation—disappear, providing groups of people who might otherwise never meet and converse the opportunity to connect and recognize what they share in common." / Natana J. DeLong-Bas=197

"The White Savior Industrial Complex" The Atlantic : "@Teju Cole 5-The White Savior Industrial Complex is not about justice. It's about having a big emotional experience that validates privilege." / Teju Cole=210

"Territory Jam" Places : "Iran's violation of the basic human rights of assembly and information access have long been condemned by the international community, most recently by the United Nations International Telecommunications Union, which declared that 'jamming is a fundamental violation, not only of international regulations and norms, but of the right of people everywhere to receive and impart information.'" / Rudabeh Pakravan=219

"The Accidental Bricoleurs" n+1 : "Social-media companies don't facilitate community any more than fast-fashion companies elevate style ; they cater to the fantasy of being a celebrity, the impossible dream of a mass audience for everyone. With that we either beat a retreat into vicarious fantasy or end up squarely in the realm of the creative class and its fiefdom of cool." / Rob Horning=229

6. Earning & Spending=243

"The New Grand Tour" : "Even before they leave China, the travellers are nagged to mind their manners and told to act as 'ambassadors' for their country. Several times in the past few years the Spiritual Civilisation Steering Committee of the country's Communist Party has issued chivvying circulars calling on Chinese tourists to avoid queue-jumping, loudness or haggling in shops with fixed prices." / The Economist=244

"Haiti Doesn't Need Your Old T-Shirt" Foreign Policy : "Here's the trouble with dumping stuff we don't want on people in need : What they need is rarely the stuff we don't want. And even when they do need that kind of stuff, there are much better ways for them to get it than for a Western NGO to gather donations at a suburban warehouse, ship everything off to Africa or South America, and then try to distribute it to remote areas." / Charles Kenny=252

"How Oliberté, the Anti-TOMS, Makes Shoes and Jobs in Africa" Good : "The Oliberté brand is still niche, but to Dehtiar, part of the venture's value is in cutting a path that larger manufacturers can follow. 'Our goal is to be the reason that 1 million people are employed in manufacturing in Africa,' he says. 'We want to show that these models work and we want to encourage others, like the Nikes and Levi's of the world, to do the same.'" / Tate Watkins=256

"The Enchanted Bylanes" Open : "Safely sourced, the toys make their way to Vidyanand Market, where sundry distributors and small-time traders buy them in bulk. Within days, the toys will be on display at cornershops across the country. Right now, though, it's time for some active bargaining ; bundles of money exchange hands, even as wagonloads of toys are ferried around." / Avantika Bhuyan=260

"The Long and Winding Road" More Intelligent Life : "Toyotas are the car for Africa. But I did not want a Toyota. As with women and sex, for men the purchase of a four-wheel drive is often clouded with emotional baggage. As a child I once pined for a Land Rover, and a part of me still did. In Sierra Leone a Land Rover seemed to make sense. They looked better, they were different. I did not want a Toyota." / Simon Akam=264

"The Luxury Frontier" Wall Street Journal : "Nothing illustrates the topsy-turvy nature of Mongolia today more than the capital city's main Sukhbaatar Square, where a bronze statue of Lenin once presided. Now a gleaming Louis Vuitton store, opened in October 2009, offers clients champagne in a circular VIP room outfitted with a lavish ceremonial Mongolian saddle and antique caviar case." / Maureen Orth=269

7. Gender Matters=281

"The Startling Plight of China's Leftover Ladies" Foreign Policy : "This is a country where 118 boys were born for every 100 girls in 2010, and by 2020 the number of men unable to find partners is expected to reach 24 million. So how could any women possibly be left over?" / Christina Larsen=282

"Crimson Leopard-Print Headscarves : Wearing the Veil in Banda Aceh, Indonesia" Glimpse : "When travelling in more liberal parts of Indonesia—in parts of Jakarta or Indonesia's Christian provinces jilbabs are the minority—Aisha has experimented with not wearing a headscarf. She liked how the wind blew in her hair, that her hair didn't smell of sweat after taking her veil off, but ultimately she decided to keep wearing a jilbab." / Doug Clark=289

"Reinventing the Veil" Financial Times Magazine : "Occasionally now, although less so than in the past, I find myself nostalgic for the Islam of my childhood and youth, an Islam without veils and far removed from politics. An Islam which people seemed to follow not in the prescribed, regimented ways of today but rather according to their own inner sense, and their own particular temperaments, inclinations and the shifting vicissitudes of their lives." / Leila Ahmed=304

"Body-Building in Afghanistan" Men's Health : "How is it that, even as the fanatics are detonating their bodies in the marketplace, in the gyms men of a new generation of Afghans are exercising and building their bodies? For the careful student, there's a lot to learn here about what it means to be strong." / Oliver Broudy=309

"Killing Emos, and the Future, in Iraq" Al Jazeera : "In a conservative society, few behaviours or identities are more threatening to the keepers of public morality than perceived homosexuality. Especially in a culture in which men and women spend so much time segregated by gender, the need to police the boundaries between homosocial and homosexual becomes a central focus of government and social action in order to preserve the social order." / Mark Levine=321

"The Invisible Migrant Man : Questioning Gender Privileges" openDemocracy : "Griffiths' work has uncovered at least two ways in which male refused asylum seekers and those placed in detention face particular vulnerabilities. The first is through their not having a full legal identity ; and the second, 'counter-intuitively' she notes, emerges from 'gendered assumptions regarding privileged patriarchy, including an expectation that men can cope with destitution, detention and the loss of family.'" / Chloé Lewis=330

8. Pop Culture=337

"Beyond Mullahs and Persian Party People : The Invisibility of Being Iranian on TV" Jadaliyya : "By dispensing with the diverse realities of being Iranian in the United States—notably the multiple ways in which Iranians articulate, enact, and experience race, citizenship, and community—and by instead magnifying a shallow Persian party scene, the Shahs of Sunset appears guilty of replacing one cultural stereotype with another." / Roozbeh Shirazi=339

"Revolution in a Can" Foreign Policy : "The most elaborate images from Egypt, Libya, and Haiti today look very much like the 1980s paint jobs on New York subway cars and warehouse facades, and yet their point is not to function as art but to work as carriers of content and opinion." / Blake Gopnik=345

"You Think Hollywood Is Rough? Welcome to the Chaos, Excitement and Danger of Nollywood" TechCrunch : "Unlike Hollywood where the producers reside in glamourous offices and pirates operate in the shadows and basements of the Internet, in Alaba the content creators and those destroying their hopes of revenues reside in the same place, selling the same product side-by-side." / Sarah Lacy=349

"Voice of the Streets : The Birth of a Hip-Hop Movement" World Hip Hop Market : "There was Boikutt formerly of Ramallah Underground repping Palestine ; two young lions Khotta Ba and Tareq Abu Kwaik aka El Far3i from Jordan ; veterans Edd from the Lebanese live hip-hop group Fareeq al Atrash and Malikah also from Lebanon representing as the lone female MC of the event ; and you had your bevy of the best Egyptian talent—Deeb and the Arabian Knightz (E-Money, Sphinx, Rush) and MC Amin from a dusty-city called Mansoura 120km north of Cairo." / Jackson Allers=357

"Fading Lights in Mumbai" More Intelligent Life : "Nestled in the city's noisy bustle, Mumbai's single-screen theatres are exotic anachronisms. Many of them have grand English names—Strand, Metro and, most famously, Opera House—which have long been used to identify the surrounding neighbourhoods." / Charukesi Ramadurai=367

"So You Think They Can Break-Dance?" Salon : "While some fans on the message boards for America's Best Dance Crew' still don't know what a 'b-boy' is, the word in South Korea has become synonymous with national pride." / Jeff Chang=370

9. Change & Transformation=383

"The World's New Numbers" The Wilson Quarterly : "The lower the birthrate, the greater the likelihood that a given society is developing—investing in education, accumulating disposable income and savings, and starting to consume at levels comparable to those of the middle classes in developed societies." / Martin Walker=385

"If It's Tuesday, It Must Be the Taliban" Outside : "Tactically, our vacation had begun to feel similar to a military raid—rush in and rush out—and it was both exhilarating and unsatisfying. You were trying to be a tourist in a place that didn't allow for it. You could strike up a conversation with a shopkeeper, but he might be a Taliban informant. You could wander down some beckoning side street, but you might not be seen again." / Damon Tabor=397

"Zimbabwe" Guernica : "What Zimbabwe did particularly well in the first twenty years of its life was to correct the racial injustice that had denied quality universal education to the majority of the country's black children : throughout the history of the colony, state education was bottlenecked to ensure that fewer and fewer blacks had access to education as they progressed up to tertiary education." / Petina Gappah=414

"The Last Famine" Foreign Policy : "Last August, I took a long walk with Daasanach nomads in northern Kenya, well inside the disaster zone, to see what it was like to move, as most famine victims do, on foot, through a landscape of chronic hunger." / Paul Salopek=428

"It's Time for the Turkana to Leave Their Wastelands and Settle Down" Daily Nation : "In 35 BC in Rome, Virgil, the much-celebrated poet, asked the rhetorical question why a country man would hearken to the city of Rome. The answer was, to obtain freedom from want and war, and to eat." / Francis Kuria=443

"More than 1 Billion People Are Hungry in the World" Foreign Policy : "What if the poor aren't starving, but choosing to spend their money on other priorities? Development experts and policymakers would have to completely reimagine the way they think about hunger." / Abhijit Banerjee ; Esther Duflo=447
