Produktbeschreibung

This volume gathers experienced scholars from Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa to address the challenges and tensions rising from mass migration flows, unbalanced north-south and east-west relations, and the increasing multicultural nature of society. The scope of the book's theme is global, addressing diversity and identity, intercultural encounters and conflict, and the interrogations of a new socio-political order or paradigm. It highlights some of the most poignant and challenging outcomes of cultural diversity faced by educators everywhere in today's societies.
