This is the 20th Anniversary edition of the classic, Figuring
Foreigners Out. Craig Storti is a renowned expert in intercultural
communications whose approaches are highly practical and based on his
decades of experience as an intercultural trainer throughout the world.
This hands-on resource can be used as a self-paced guide or in a
facilitated (work or academic course) environment. The book enables
readers to encounter and confront culture head on, to interact with and
respond to it. In the process, culture will become something real and
alive, something to deal with, not merely think about.
