“The Handbook of Intercultural Training, Third Edition provides a thorough grounding in the history, concepts and methods underlying intercultural training. The many analyses of tools, methods and approaches for specific contexts offer guidance in designing and conducting effective training interventions. The collected theoretical and practical information presented in this book is critical for professional interculturalists.” —Lee Gardenswartz, Ph.D. and Anita Rowe, Ph.D., Partners, Gardenswartz & Rowe “This book is just in time and just for me. It's as if someone assembled all the interculturalists I admire and respect and bribed them to share their latest and best thoughts in a well-crafted chapter. You'll probably feel the same way.” —Sivasailam "Thiagi" Thiagarajan, Ph. D., Workshops by Thiagi, Inc. Completely revised with all new chapters, the Third Edition of the Handbook of Intercultural Training provides a state-of-the-art review of the field of intercultural training. Written by the leading authorities in intercultural studies, this definitively updated volume offers not only a convenient summary of research but also information on specific training techniques. It analyzes with depth and clarity regions of the world where intercultural issues have heightened--including Central and South America, Europe, and China, as well as Eastern Europe, Russia, and Israel. Other parts of the book examine theoretical and methodological issues inherent in understanding intercultural interactions and training and the contexts in which training takes place. An essential reference of intercultural interactions across disciplines, the Handbook of Intercultural Training synthesizes information of special note for professionals, researchers, and students in management, educational psychology, ethnic studies, sociology, and gender studies, as well as a broad array of human services such as counseling and nursing.

Intercultural Reentry of Students and Professionals: Theory and Practice
It has been 40 years since sociologists Gullahorn and Gullahorn (1963) proposed the term W-curve to refer to the “reverse culture shock” that sojourners experience when returning home after an overseas assignment. In the intervening years, there has been a great deal of investigation, both anecdotal and empirical, focused on understanding this often unexpected experience in which an individual's home culture appears and feels foreign.
There have been two recent influences affecting reentry scholarship since the second edition of the Handbook was published in 1996. The most striking influence is the emergence of the critical paradigm in the field of intercultural communication and related disciplines (see Martin & ...
