Society & social sciences
Paperback. Though the composition of the populace of industrial nations has changed dramatically since the 1950s, public discourse and scholarship, however, often remain welded to traditional concepts of national cultures. Far from being an external factor of society, this volume shows how diversity has become an integral part of people's lives. Editor(s): Harzig, Christiane; Juteau, Danielle; Schmitt, Irina. BIC Classification: JFS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. .
