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. (M. Kirkegaard) |
