Nestled between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 9\/11 attacks, the decade witnessed the 'end of history' and the birth of the internet, the consolidation of neoliberalism, and a political urgency embodied by the anti-globalization movement. We now see this pivotal decade in the rearview mirror as a force to reckon with, have yet to write its history, and have only begun to come to terms with its lasting significance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThis anthology dives into the contemporary fascination with the '90s.
