In the wake of the new migrations, cultures around the globe are challenged in the very substance of understanding - language. This break down often gives way to violence and racism. Finally, here is an ingeniously written book, by an accomplished, thoughtful practitioner, who tackles the matter at one of the sources - the suffering child in a foreign culture. Children learning a new language through the universal gesture of humankind, the kaleidoscope of the artistic expression, is not only a convincing argument, it has also been classroom tested internationally. Truly an imperative reading for educators and social service professionals alike. (Professor Emeritus Paolo J. Knill, Lesley College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Provost European Graduate School, Switzerland)
