In Their Own Voice: Intercultural Meaning in Everyday Stories

A collection of anecdotes written by people who have moved to the United States from another country and culture. Each describes a cultural difference they have observed, and a comparison of what might happen in a similar situation in their home country. Delightfully non-judgmental, the authors note with genuine surprise their reactions to neighbors, teachers, parents, co-workers, the media, and more. Each story will make you say, "Wow. I never thought about that being an 'American' thing." In the authentic, personal, everyday moments portrayed here and the commentary that accompanies each story, we gain precious access to the thinking and action behind the value differences that reveal themselves at work and in our daily lives.
