Identity and integration

This volume focuses on Identity and Integration and forms the leitmotif for Patrick Boylan's interview with the interculturalist Milton Bennett. More than just an interview it is an exchange of points of view, an animated conversation full of practical examples, personal contributions and experience which support the theoretical frameworks discussed. Apart from the opening interview, this issue offers a range of contributions, which we have grouped into a Bordieusian view of "Second Language Acquisition", manipulation by and through the media in "Identity and Media"; and finally, Hofstede's Theory is put to the test in determining the extent to which cultural values play a part in "Identity and Integration".
