\nAs the essays and interviews collected in this volume demonstrate, inter\u00adculturalism has been and continues to be the American way of life. While this book concentrates on Canada, the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean\u2014with some cross-references to Brazil\u2014, interculturalism does not stop there. It is an inter-American and a global phenomenon, which calls for a transdisciplinary and transnational academic practice. This volume distinguishes three main ways of dealing with difference in intercultural scenarios: (1) a transcultural approach that focuses on the interaction of cultural practices, (2) a reinforcement of cultural distinctiveness that resists interpenetration and amalgamation, and (3) a return to spaces, communities, histories, or cultural practices that results in their rediscovery as different. While the introduction to this book discusses the theoretical dimensions of interculturalism, the fourteen subsequent essays explore intercultural materials, practices, and policies in the context of \u201ctransculturality,\u201d \u201cdifference,\u201d and \u201crediscovery.\u201d They are followed by interviews with four practitioners of interculturalism: Ana Castillo, Helena Mar\u00eda Viramontes, Santa Barraza, and Bryan Mulvihill.<\/p>\n

“Here\u2019s a publication worth one\u2019s time and also worth reading time and again. Backed by evidence and deep knowledge, Raab\u2019s and Greiffenstern\u2019s introduction sets the tone for the essays that follow. And the essays, independent in thought and presentation, do not disappoint. Their impressive range of perspectives adds to the value of this study. In brief, highly readable information that sticks to the point and avoids generalities.” (Rolando Hinojosa-Smith, Ellen Clayton Garwood Professor, University of Texas at Austin)<\/p>\n
