free articles!

Hey everybody, you can go to the web site of Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers and download the free stuff on globalization: just go to the Blackwell journals home here, then go to the journal home which I can't link to directly because they use servlets. You can select the journal title from the alphabetical pulldown "Quick Link" menu on the right. These papers were originally presentations delivered at the International Geographical Union 2004 meeting, now in a special issue called "Geography: Making a Difference in a Globalizing World." Although the authors are all geographers, I think Americanists can find some interesting ideas in there, especially regarding power relations that exist in processes and moments of globalization. Clearly, those of us looking to theorize international or global American studies have a lot in common with geographers hammering out theories of globalization, so check out these articles while they are still free at Blackwell.
