This book provides qualitative analyses of intercultural sense
making in a variety of institutional contexts. It relies on the
assumption that in an increasingly culturally diverse world,
individuals often enter contexts that have communal, historically
determined and stable sets of values, norms and expected
identities, with little cultural compass to find their bearings in
them. The book goes beyond interpreting differences in people's
ethnic or linguistic roots and discusses instead people's
interpretive efforts to navigate different sociocultural
situations. The contributors examine such situations in
educational, organizational, medical and community settings and
look at how participants with different levels of sociocultural
competences (such as, migrant patients, migrant adult learners,
children) try to cope with institutional constraints and
expectations, how they understand symbols, practices and identities
in institutional contexts, and how their creative adjustments come
to light. This book provides insights from the fields of
psychology, education, anthropology and linguistics, and is for a
wide readership interested in cultural meaning-making.
