A Cyclopedia of Culture Shock (Paperback)

What will you need to know culturally to interact with the international community in a world defined by constant migration? What do you need to know in order to avoid the existential wars and ideological battles between cultures that produce worldviews and create lifestyles? Specifically, what will you need to know to visit and work in Nigeria and the United States? Must Nigerian missionaries particularly as priests and nuns, and U.S. diplomats understand the conventions and practices of the countries in which they work in order to be effective? Remember, an unintentional misstep can destroy your mission to a foreign culture.
A Cyclopedia of Culture Shock promises to satisfy your curiosity in an experiential attempt to answer these litanies of questions and many more. The book first appeared as a self-published work in 2005 with the full title as, A Handbook on Culture Shock, A Cross-Cultural Comparative Experience Between Nigeria (Ejaghem/Etung) and Upstate New York (Adirondacks). Over the years, it has been some profoundly updated to reflect a much improved work, which necessitated the change of title.
By and large, with the basic analysis remaining stable, the reader will still find in it information of immediate relevance for an understanding and appreciation of the conversation the book sets out to impress.
