Praise for the first edition: I highly recommend this book as a teaching manual and encourage health care agencies to make copies available to staff. It promotes and encourages an approach to the delivery of health care that is culturally sensitive.- L. Dayler (Gerontology Update) An extremely practical handbook on diverse aspects of cross-cultural care … The terminology used in this text makes it readily understandable and easy yet interesting reading. - Carole-Lynne LeNavenec (Canadian Ethnic Studies) Concise, well-written, informative, and relevant to practice in Canada. All sections provide a useful overview of historical experiences, adjustment styles, preferred values, and typical ways of thinking. - Susan E. Smith (Canadian Journal of Public Health)
