Synopsis:
"Clash! explains some of the most bedeviling cultural divides in our workplaces and communities. It's mandatory reading for teachers, managers, and parents who want to raise their kids to succeed in a multicultural world." - Chip Heath, coauthor of Decisive and Switch
As the world gets smaller, people from different backgrounds are colliding like never before. Leading cultural psychologists Hazel Markus and Alana Conner reveal how a single culture clash - the clash of independence and interdependence - ignites both global hostilities and daily tensions between regions, races, genders, classes, religions, and organizations. Markus and Conner then show how we can leverage both independence and interdependence to mend the rifts in our communities, workplaces, and schools.
Provocative, witty, and painstakingly researched, Clash! not only explains who we are, it also envisions who we could become.
