Clash! : 8 cultural conflicts that make us who we are / Hazel Rose Markus, Ph. D., and Alana Conner, Ph. D.

Markus, Hazel Rose. (Author). Conner, Alana. (Added Author).

Summary:

In Clash!, leading cultural psychologists Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner show us how our cultural backgrounds create and reflect these two basic ways of being a self, which then shape everything from how we run our governments to how we raise our children. Markus and Conner also demonstrate how clashes between independence and interdependence fuel many of today's most pressing conflicts, including tensions between East and West, the Global North and Global South, men and women, blacks and whites, conservative and liberal, religious groups, rich and poor, and businesses, governments, and nonprofits.
