Description - In Someone Else's Shoes by Joseph Assaf
Back in 1967, a young man left his birthplace and boarded a flight to Australia, with nothing more than aspiration and ambition. He did not tell a soul. In fact, he did not even wear his own shoes. This book tells his story and his reflections on culture and diversity and the country that he now calls home. This book is essentially about communicating effectively in a multicultural world. It journeys through spheres of marketing, citizenship, culture and diversity, cultural identity, the legal system, crime and punishment and how these can be integrated to orchestrate a harmonious multicultural society. From a kaleidoscope of cultural influences, the author has had a significant impact on the landscape of multiculturalism in Australia. From his extensive experience of presenting papers and addressing conferences to many public, private, national and international institutions on multicultural communication, he has brought together the essence of communicating effectively in a multicultural world into one book. The author challenges the reader's approach to diversity, encouraging inclusiveness and a willingness to engage with other cultures and he appeals to the reader to confront the frequently held yet misguided concepts of multiculturalism, in an attempt to break down stereotypes and build bridges for the sake of prosperity, growth and harmony.
