Third Culture Kids 4th Edition

How do we develop our sense of self when growing up among multiple cultural worlds? There is, of course, no single answer. Just like there is no single, cookie-cutter, cross-cultural childhood. But for those of us that grew up moving between cultures, never staying in any one culture for very long, recognizing and understanding this shared experience is critical. After all, our world is only growing increasingly culturally complex and mobile. In this 4th edition of the ground-breaking, global classic on third culture kids (TCKs), Ruth E. Van Reken, Cynthia Green, and Michael V. Pollock expand the multi-layered TCK story. After introducing and defining TCKs, the authors take a step back and address the wider group of kids who experienced cross-cultural childhoods, cross-culture kids (CCKs). This significantly updated foundational resource includes more international stories than ever and features new discussions on: · Identity formation · Belonging · Grief & loss · Resilience · The inherent value in cross-cultural childhoods Reading this book is a step towards self-discovery. Once you know how growing up among worlds adds value to your life and to our changing world and how to successfully navigate these challenges, the future is full of possibilities*.*
