Author 

Assimilation and multiculturalism, cultural conflict and political correctness - are these our only options? We are told that diversity is great - but why? Why Interculturalism Will Work teaches you the why and the how of learning about cultures (including your own), and how to create interculturalism to get all the benefits of diversity. This book will change how we think about cultural difference and what we gain from it.
