Sommario/riassunto |
|
Rooster in the Rice captures the excitement of living, studying, and working abroad. Between two cultures lies a nether world of edges, where the rules of neither culture dominate. This book presents sixty incidents of cross-cultural collisions and uses an ecological perspective to understand their causes and significance. |
