Comments:

This book is a summary of the model of cultural competence developed by the author.  The model has five components: cultural desire (the "want to" be culturally competent rather than "have to"), cultural awareness (self-examination), cultural knowledge (sound educational base about culturally diverse groups), cultural skill (communication skills to navigate cross-cultural differences) and cultural encounters (real experience).  The book is well-written and well-referenced.  The appendix contains numerous articles, books and web sites.
