Intercultural Crossings Kartoniert (TB)

Intercultural crossings which are at the core of our contemporary society are underpinned and shaped by three essential elements: time space and people. Such encounters and interactions have the capacity not only to promote diversity and a healthy exchange of ideas but also to act as a catalyst for conflict. This volume examines the topics of conflict memory and identity through a collection of insightful viewpoints and perspectives reflecting a diversity of cultural and social backgrounds which combine to give a contemporary interdisciplinary analysis of cultural interactions and their effects. The themes covered by the authors such as memory and forgetfulness migration ecological concerns mixed cultural landscapes storytelling postcolonial trauma and internal struggles for identity offer the reader a fascinating glimpse into the ongoing and evolving social debate about identity and purpose.
