Description
The book deals mainly with the bicultural identities of young Asian people at school in Birmingham (UK) and Vancouver.

The author's previous publications include "The Cultural Context of Thinking" (NFER) and, edited jointly, "The Cognitive Development of the Indian Child", among numerous articles on multicultural matters.
