In 1980, SAGE published Geert Hofstede's Culture's Consequences. It
opens with a quote from Blaise Pascal: "There are truths on this
side of the Pyrenees that are falsehoods on the other." The book
became a classic-one of the most cited sources in the Social
Science Citation Index-and subsequently appeared in a second
edition in 2001. This new SAGE Encyclopedia of Intercultural
Competence picks up on themes explored in that book. Cultural
competence refers to the set of attitudes, practices, and policies
that enables a person or agency to work well with people from
differing cultural groups. Other related terms include cultural
sensitivity, transcultural skills, diversity competence, and
multicultural expertise. What defines a culture? What barriers
might block successful communication between individuals or
agencies of differing cultures? How can those barriers be
understood and navigated to enhance intercultural communication and
understanding? These questions and more are explained within the
pages of this new reference work. Key Features: 300 to 350 entries
organized in A-to-Z fashion in two volumes Signed entries that
conclude with Cross-References and Suggestions for Further Readings
Thematic "Reader's Guide" in the front matter grouping related
entries by broad topic areas Chronology that provides a historical
perspective of the development of cultural competence as a discrete
field of study Resources appendix and a comprehensive Index The
SAGE Encyclopedia of Intercultural Competence is an authoritative
and rigorous source on intercultural competence and related issues,
making it a must-have reference for all academic libraries.
