There is so much that is different about the Western world. As migrants, we need to shift our mindsets and approaches if we are to integrate well. Everything from our socio-cultural practices - such as disciplining children - to our geopolitical outlook, needs to be revisited. But even so, we need to maintain a balance - not forgetting our roots, culture and heritage.
Non-immigrants will find useful hints and tips in reading this book given the increasing need for cultural integration in our schools, workplaces, neighbourhoods and communities.
