The book also examines globalization and its sociological effects. David G. Embrick earned his Ph.D at Texas A&M University in 2006.

Bhoomi K. Thakore is an assistant professor of sociology and the director of the Sociology Program at Elmhurst College. She earned her Ph.D. at Loyola University Chicago.
