Reviews
'Moving beyond easy abstractions about super-diversity and mobility, Melissa Butcher traverses the streets of suburban Sydney, the high rise offices of Singapore and the middle class homes of Delhi to delve deep into the lived experience of global flows of peoples and cultures. This is a beautifully rendered and critically important analysis of the affective dimensions of living together and managing change.' Anita Harris, Monash University, Australia 'It is certainly true that change hides a painful process of adaptation, requiring time, energy, resources, but at the end of the tunnel each of us finds that green light which gives you the opportunity to cultivate the sense of belonging and demarcate differences - isn’t that what we all experience in this constantly shifting world?! Being a well structured, beautifully written, and enriched with familiar components, Managing Cultural Change is a recommended read for those who are eager to delve deep and understand better the affective dimensions of living together and managing change.'
