Description: Migrants and global nomads develop hybrid identities and see transience as a fact of life as they live their lives in the unclaimed territory between cultural contexts. This research explores the inner dialogues and interactions of people with different cultural backgrounds. Results show the deep implications of globalization processes on individual development, how environmental discourses resonate in the emotional layers of personal cultural positions, and the innovative potential of dialogue in safe spaces.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pags 331-339).
