What's this book all about then?

Here's a snippet:
"Meet the professional videogame superstars in South Korea, playing the Starcraft game the US invented and then abandoned. Discover hardcore punks in Indonesia, rebelling against a far more totalitarian regime than Thatcher’s ever was. Everywhere Hendrie goes, it’s globalisation - but not as we know it.

Part whirlwind world tour through surprising subcultures, part subtle sociological study, all immersive reportage with humour and warmth, AmalgaNations takes the reader across, Asia, Oceania and Africa to discover how people are adapting or repurposing ‘global’ cultures."
