ENCOUNTERING CULTURES is a composition reader that addresses issues of cultural interaction bith at home and abroad. My premise is that increasing cultural diversity in the United States can be best understood in a global context; My goal is to engage students in critical reading and writing by encouragung them to articulate, test, and enlarge their perspective on cultural differences and snd similarities. I take a broad view of "culture" in this book, using the metaphor of travel to emphasize interactions across cultural boundaries based not only on race, ethnicity, and regional origin but also on language communities, regional subcultures, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
