Review

"This newly revised edition of Cross-Cultural Caring: A Handbook for Health Professionals looks at Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian, Chinese, Japanese, Iranian, South Asian, and Central American ethno-cultural groups. It stresses the need to understand both the cultural beliefs and the daily life concerns facing immigrants, such as work, income, child-rearing, and aging, all of which impinge on health." "This long-awaited new edition provides up-to-date statistics and fresh analysis, responding to changing trends in immigration. Additional material includes a new chapter addressing the special circumstances of refugees; short real-life stories of immigrants' and refugees' experiences; and a thorough, easy-to-use index."--Jacket
