Synopsis
Migration is a vast, global tide that is reshaping our world - whether we like it or not - and it accentuates the whole battery of questions relating to who we are. Culture and identity are changing all the time - sometimes consciously, as we shape ourselves; sometime less so, as the world in which we move batters us into different shapes. Migrants feel these pressures more than most, and wrestle with the interplay of old and new; atavistic and hybrid identities. If we listen, they can tell us a great deal about who we are - and about what we really mean when we say 'We'. This collection of essays is one of ten celebrating the British Council's 70th anniversary by examining some of the most critical issues for the future of cultural relations. A wide range of thinkers provides provocative and stimulating visions of the power and importance of cultural relations in the 21st century. They don't look for agreement; their aim, and ours, is to encourage debate and cut new channels for dialogue.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
