Dancing to a Different Tune

Dancing to a Different Tune is a collection of interviews, articles and critiques offering a unique portrait of the inner workings of the intercultural world. It also recounts the personal journeys of the founders and builders of interculturalism as a new field of social science and an increasingly important way of life. The author goes on to apply the concept--usually focused on international business or political negotiations--to areas such as history, sociology, linguistics and education. A review of noteworthy books, as well as a pertinent film, completes the work. Dancing to a Different Tune is shrewd, lively and multifaceted in its analysis of interculturalism today. Better yet, it translates the heartbeat-cadence of the cross-cultural experience itself.

Dancing to a Different Tune is the fifth book of poetry by the author, a mystic and a realist; a woman who is, perhaps, complicated but not conflicted. This book also includes her personal prose reflections - an honest "talking out loud" as if she is actually sitting right in front of you having a conversation.Her words have an immediate impact, both clear and insightful, into the emotional world of men and women and she speaks in a way that reaches out to everyone regardless of gender or race. This book is the reflection of a multi-talented, creative artist who somehow manages to pull you quickly into her heart and mind and at the same time plunges you into yours - perhaps to places you've never been before..
