Dancing to a Different Tune - Schmidt Patrick L.

Dancing to a Different Tune is a collection of interviews, articles and critiques offering a unique portrait of the inner workings of the intercultural world. It also recounts the personal journeys of the founders and builders of interculturalism as a new field of social science and an increasingly important way of life. The author goes on to apply the concept--usually focused on international business or political negotiations--to areas such as history, sociology, linguistics and education. A review of noteworthy books, as well as a pertinent film, completes the work. Dancing to a Different Tune is shrewd, lively and multifaceted in its analysis of interculturalism today. Better yet, it translates the heartbeat-cadence of the cross-cultural experience itself.
