Academic work on globalization often tends to segment it into either economic globalization or cultural globalization, or political globalization. This book explores spectacular landscapes of the Akshardham temples in Gandhinagar and Delhi in India, and Atlanta, Dallas, Houston in the U.S. to understand globalization as it unfolds in a culture economy synthesis. It demonstrates how culture, economy, and spectacular landscapes in tandem produce globalization through migrant narratives, migrant landscapes, and theme park religious complexes.
