Migration
Written and Edited by Karl F Wessel (Editor), Frank Naumann (Editor), Monika Lehmann (Editor)
Asylum debates and attacks on foreigners' homes have brought the issue of migration, the migration movements of human groups and individual individuals between different cultural circles, back into the headlines of the media.
Immigration and emigration, the clash of cultures, however, is as old as mankind itself and the condition of its evolution. In 1991 and 1992, representatives of different humanities and practitioners met with foreigners to discuss opportunities, risks and consequences of past and present migration processes at three events. They were concerned with conceiving migration as an indispensable part of human existence beyond all party-politic shortcomings, To take account of the diversity of their forms and to explain the possibilities and dangers of the individual in the confrontation with foreign cultures by means of their biological, psychological and social condition.
Complementing historical reminiscences and statements of those involved in intercultural work, the present volume provides a comprehensive picture of what migration and multicultural encounter means, as well as scientific facts as well as subjectively colored story reports, and sees itself as a plea for the interdisciplinary research in the interest of the self-awareness of humanity as an indivisible, endangered species, for tolerance and understanding across all cultural boundaries.
With contributions by:
H. Damaschun, E. Gross, S. Grundmann, RD Hegel,

I read just the chapter by Frank Naumann on Communications problems when cultures meet. Astute analysis.
