Here is the ultimate, self-instructional cross-cultural training manual. Craig Storti, author of The Art of Crossing Cultures, The Art of Coming Home, Incident at Bitter Creek and Cross-Cultural Dialogues, brings his wealth of knowledge and his creative mind to this exceptional new resource. Figuring Foreigners Out is designed for anyone who wants to help in "figuring out" the behavior of someone from another culture. Educators, trainers and individuals will profit from this user-friendly workbook. readers can work through exercises which are vintage Storti-- on their own or in a training group. Concepts at the heart of intercultural communication are addressed in a step-by-step manner and include individualism and collectivism, monochronic and polychronic concepts of time, verbal and nonverbal communication styles and power distance relationships in the workplace. Storti uses cross-cultural dialogues as a sort of pre- and post-test for many of the ideas he introduces--inviting readers to return to them after completing the exercises to analyze them in light of what they have learned. Storti ends with a definition of four stages of cultural awareness--unconcious incompetence, concious incompetence, concious competence and unconcious competence--and invites readers to assess their level of awareness after working through the activities. Readers will find themselves better able to incorporate new attitudes and behaviors into their dealings with people who view the world from a different perspective. Throughout, Storti uses literary quotations to enrich his text. This is one of the few books that individuals can work through and, without the aid of a structured training program, effectively prepare themselves for dealing with cultural differences they encounter. Yet it is also ideal as a training text. It should be high-priority reading for anyone who may come into contact with people from foreign cultures whether overseas (corporate expatriates, study abroad participants, volunteers, missionaries, military personnel) or at home in multicultural settings (the workplace, school and other social or organizational contexts). Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of this book is its universality--it is neither overtly nor implicitly oriented to one culture and therefore can be used by anyone interested in understanding people who are culturally different from themselves.

Moving to a new country to live is difficult, having to adapt to the culture and new environment. Most people settle down nicely but a handful don’t get used to their newly adopted home. Here then are stories of foreigners in Singapore who behave badly; committing murder, financial scams, vandalism and more. Read about the domestic helper who murdered her employer, the Swiss IT consultant who vandalised an MRT train, the Bangladeshi worker who killed his Indonesian girl friend as well as the Romanian diplomat involved in a hit and run accident. Ignorance of Singaporean law does not save you from prosecution and punishment as these foreigners found out, the hard way.

"It was a bizarre and beautiful invasion. Suddenly, from nowhere, the Foreigners were everywhere: walking the streets of 21st century earth as if they had been there all along; their inscrutable golden masks floating above the crowds on top of their seven foot robe clad bodies. They brought with them the technological marvel of Crystech, at once a power source and a building material of unearthly beauty. They banished all our worries and heralded a new utopia. All they asked of us was that we sing to them. It was surely too good to be true. The only thing that could possibly go wrong was that one day they might leave, as suddenly and mysteriously as they had arrived, throwing us back into the dark ages." "And now, in a room in one of the hotels on the gleaming white streets of New Venice, one of the Foreigners has been found dead, its robes and mask lying empty on the plush carpet next to the body of the Siren it had paid to sing to it." "An accident? A bizarre cross species suicide pact? Murder?" "Jack Parry, late of the Metropolitan police, now of the Foreign Policy Police is under pressure to find out what happened before news gets out to the public, or before it happens again and the Foreigners go, giving us back disharmony and, perhaps, freedom."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Symbiosis - Living with the Foreigner, is a personal take on the frictions that immigration brings to our societies, specifically in Singapore, a nation which is home to 2 million foreigners out of a population of 5 million. Base on my own experiences as a foreigner (a Singaporean living in Japan), I wrote this collection of my thoughts on how immigrants and natives can co-exist harmoniously.

About the Book: Navin Pedampalli is a young man trying to figure out his life in a world that is not very welcoming. Like any other teenager, he faces the insecurities and anxieties of growing up. But in some situations, one can’t take your time to figure out growing up like every other teenager. Navin’s world forces him to grow up faster than he would’ve liked as he takes a brave and mature step. The story explores the hardships he faces as a construction worker in Singapore while also navigating the uncertainty of family, friendship and romance. About the Author: Nandan Chalamalasetti is a young author residing in Singapore. At the age of six, he moved to Singapore from the quaint little town of Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh. His world suddenly transformed from the lush green fields in Amalapuram to the skyscrapers and the modernism of Singapore. With no understanding of the English language and being pushed into schooling in an English-speaking country, it was quite a transition, and that too fairly sudden. He has grown to foster a love for the language. In the last six years, he has dabbled in all genres of writing, from scripts to short stories to books. He has a love for acting and enjoys participating in theatrical productions. Currently, he is serving his National Service in the Singapore Police Force and is planning to pursue a business degree after his service.

Turning toward Edification discusses foreigners in Korea from before the founding of Chosŏn in 1392 until the mid-nineteenth century. Although it has been common to describe Chosŏn Korea as a monocultural and homogeneous state, Adam Bohnet reveals the considerable presence of foreigners and people of foreign ancestry in Chosŏn Korea as well as the importance to the Chosŏn monarchy of engagement with the outside world. These foreigners included Jurchens and Japanese from border polities that formed diplomatic relations with Chosŏn prior to 1592, Ming Chinese and Japanese deserters who settled in Chosŏn during the Japanese invasion between 1592 and 1598, Chinese and Jurchen refugees who escaped the Manchu state that formed north of Korea during the early seventeenth century, and even Dutch castaways who arrived in Chosŏn during the mid-1700s. Foreigners were administered by the Chosŏn monarchy through the tax category of “submitting-foreigner” (hyanghwain). This term marked such foreigners as uncivilized outsiders coming to Chosŏn to receive moral edification and they were granted Korean spouses, Korean surnames, land, agricultural tools, fishing boats, and protection from personal taxes. Originally the status was granted for a limited time, however, by the seventeenth century it had become hereditary. Beginning in the 1750s foreign descendants of Chinese origin were singled out and reclassified as imperial subjects (hwangjoin), giving them the right to participate in the palace-sponsored Ming Loyalist rituals. Bohnet argues that the evolution of their status cannot be explained by a Confucian or Sinocentric enthusiasm for China. The position of foreigners—Chinese or otherwise—in Chosŏn society must be understood in terms of their location within Chosŏn social hierarchies. During the early Chosŏn, all foreigners were clearly located below the sajok aristocracy. This did not change even during the eighteenth century, when the increasingly bureaucratic state recategorized Ming migrants to better accord with the Chosŏn state’s official Ming Loyalism. These changes may be understood in relation to the development of bureaucratized identities in the Qing Empire and elsewhere in the world during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and as part of the vernacularization of elite ideologies that has been noted elsewhere in Eurasia.

Lost in Yaba is a true story about an expat who becomes addicted to the infamous drug 'yaba' in Laos. Walt Gleeson planned to visit Laos on a visa trip from Thailand, but he ended up staying in Vientiane and Vang Vieng for over a year. Most foreigners who visit Vientiane can hardly believe it is a capital city. It is a sleepy, peaceful city in one of the most under developed counties in Asia. But there is a hidden side to Vientiane that most foreigners do not get to see. During Walt's time in Vientiane, he witnessed the underbelly of the city first hand - the drugs, the prostitution and the manipulation of western men for money. This provides a unique glimpse into the dark side of Laos.
