This book concerns 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. Thus, it highlights some of
the most poignant and challenging outcomes of cultural diversity
faced more or less palpably by everyone everywhere in today's
societies. The book's theme of multi- and pluriculturality is of
particular current interest in the academic, socio-political,
economic and entrepreneurial spheres. It covers Western and
non-Western perspectives, representing a valuable resource in terms
of international dialogue and experimentation. The chapters are
complimentary, completing a rigorous theoretical framework offering
detailed presentation and analysis of the phenomenon of diversity
as encountered in society and the educational setting and at large
viewed in a multidisciplinary multiperspective fashion. Among the
theories and concepts represented are those intrinsic to sociology,
psychology, political science, economics, history, literature,
pedagogy, communication and linguistics.
