Migration, Diversity, and Education

Beyond Third Culture Kids

Herausgegeben: Dervin, Fred; Loparo, Kenneth A.

Beschreibung

The concept of Third Culture Kids is often used to describe people who have spent their childhood on the move, living in many different countries and languages. This book examines the hype, relevance and myths surrounding the concept while also redefining it within a broader study of transnationality to demonstrate the variety of stories involved.

Rezensionen

"The volume could easily be incorporated into migration studies courses that focus on the complexity of migration phenomena. All ten articles provide good avenues for classroom discussions, while motivating scholars to continue rebooting currently used terminology because 'just as we find new ways to conceptualize ourselves in our ever-changing world, we will also find ways to recognize each other' ... ."
