      abstract = {This book provides qualitative analyses of intercultural  sense making in a variety of institutional contexts. It  relies on the assumption that in an increasingly culturally  diverse world, individuals often enter contexts that have  communal, historically determined and stable sets of  values, norms and expected identities, with little cultural  compass to find their bearings in them. The book goes  beyond interpreting differences in peoples ethnic or  linguistic roots and discusses instead peoples interpretive  efforts to navigate different sociocultural situations. The  contributors examine such situations in educational,  organizational, medical and community settings and look at  how participants with different levels of sociocultural  competences (such as, migrant patients, migrant adult  learners, children) try to cope with institutional  constraints and expectations, how they understand symbols,  practices and identities in institutional contexts, and how  their creative adjustments come to light. This book  provides insights from the fields of psychology, education,  anthropology and linguistics, and is for a wide readership  interested in cultural meaning-making.},
