The difficulties facing those who are globalizing in the margins come from powerful transnational movements such as the environmental movement, the ong>internationalong> drug trade, ong>andong> migrations of people including ong>internationalong> tourists. Ironically, instant contact with the rest of the world has created a sense of local identity that transcends the local ong>andong> is truly multicultural. Belize is a diverse, multicultural society that is both cosmopolitan ong>andong> deterritorialized, searching for new forms of collective expression, identity, ong>andong> imagined possibilities, coming into its own as a nation at a time of increasing awareness of global social realities. Perhaps the rreatest challenge faced by Belizeans is the power of the transnational eco-colonialists who have, with missionary zeal, garnered control of long>andong> ong>andong> resources ong>andong> placed themselves in positions of ong>politicalong> power. The present is an end of history for Belize ong>andong> the beginning of a new era, one that is peculiarly postmodern, globalized, ong>andong> creative.
