註釋Do you sometimes wonder if you really belong any place? Do you feel that you belong everywhere but nowhere, that people don't understand you anywhere? Are you one of the many millions who have roots in different cultures? Do the common labels of nationality, race, language, or ethnicity fit too tightly on your complex and diverse self? For anyone searching for a more satisfying understanding of the dynamics of living on the cultural borderlands, "Between Cultures: Developing Self-Identity in a World of Diversity" Makes you more effective as you move across cultural divides. Helps you sort out the confusion inherent in being multicultural and realize your creative potential. Shows you why traditional labels of identity are deficient, and how everyone has multicultural ancestors. Suggests new ways to look at yourself and new metaphors of identity that transcend cultural boundaries. Gives you an easy method to craft your own special identity. Real-life examples illustrate the experiences of those who routinely cross cultural borders. The authors tackle controversial issues--and argue persuasively and entertainingly. The "Notes to Myself' section at the end of each chapter guides you through the labyrinth of your own personal multi-prismed past. A must-read for all multicultural people--and their friends and family. If you work with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, put this book in their hands!
