75. 'Eurocentric' because it assumes the generalisability of a historically and geographically specific relation of labour to capital: that of the European proletariat to industrial capital.
76. My intention in this article has been to chart various key positions that have been taken up in the 'globalisation debate' rather than to evaluate or critically assess them. Readers interested in my own standpoint on these debates are invited to consult 'Modernity, globalisation and "the West"', the first chapter of my book, Nationalism and Cultural Practice in the Postcolonial World, which will be published by Cambridge University Press early in 1999.
