Designed to offer an appealing anthology where there is an increased general interest in connections between and among cultures, Across Cultures, Fourth Edition strives to promote understanding of diverse cultures among students. The book provides an extensive sampling of and advocates acceptance of a diversity of voices, while suggesting ways to probe the correspondences, interrelationships, and mutual benefits of that diversity. The selections cover a greater variety of cultural facets than the table of contents indicates. For example, the readings in “Work,” the subject of Chapter 4, lead students to consider related subjects such as affirmative action, immigration, cultural displacement, family narratives, and definitions of success. Throughout the text, students are encouraged to draw connections between and among readings through “Correspondence” questions that accompany each selection, thus developing their critical thinking skills. Features: • Places American culture and its diversity into a context of world culture. Each unit contains selections on American culture by American writers, selections by writers from diverse ethnic groups within the United States writing about the experience of their group, and selections by writers writing from or about cultures elsewhere.

• Student texts are included in most chapters, providing accessible models and helping students to see how their cultural experiences reinforce the themes of the anthology. • Three categories of questions follow each reading—“Interpretations” provoke discussion topics and call attention to rhetorical features; “Correspondences” encourage students to explore cultural similarities and differences; “Applications” provide writing assignments. • Opening selections in each chapter are myths or folktales that place cultural issues in an historical context. • Each chapter contains at least one short story.
