The authors have gleaned insights from history, social science, and personal experience to help the reader understand multiculturalism not as a political buzzword but as a basis for a rich personal identity." -- Marilynn B. Brewer, PhD Professor of Psychology Ohio State University Eminent Scholar in Social Psychology "Between Cultures is both timely and desperately needed. I recommend this marvelous book to all who want to free their own potential to live in harmony with themselves and with their brothers and sisters from other backgrounds." -- LaDonna Harris President Americans for Indian Opportunity ". . . introduces a new and radical way of reframing identity for those of us who navigate cultural boundaries. We are freed from being labeled into little boxes, freed to create novel options that reintegrate the intuitive with the academic. This book has tremendous implications for multicultural people and for those who work in human potential fields." -- Rui-ling King Director Small World Associates "Wow! A gentle, ground-breaking approach to sorting out your multicultural roots by authors who walk the talk. A must-read for all who wrestle with issues of personal and social identity." -- Leslie J. Thornton II, PhD Professor of Multicultural Education The University of Michigan-Dearborn "This book redefines the ground on which managing (and teaching) diversity takes place. People in the 21st Century should be growing into adulthood with these perspectives in their tool kit. Readers will delight in the depth." -- George Simons, PhD CEO George Simons International
