Many of us live dual lives, as though we live in two worlds. This divergence is perhaps greatest for those embedded in what may be called ""multiculturalism.""

Produktbeschreibung
Many of us live dual lives, as though we live in two worlds. This divergence is perhaps greatest for those embedded in what may be called ""multiculturalism."" Multicultural people, with their unique life experiences, are migrating around the globe, carrying their own baggage while they face the demands of living in new and strange lands. The short stories in this collection look at the daily tests facing people, frequently in Africa, as they struggle to survive, often in a rapidly changing world. These observations are made through the lens of an outsider--someone from a different culture, with different habits, seeing and learning how these trials are met--seeing and learning that people, regardless of ethnicity, share a common humanity that makes taking these tests poignant and, at times, a true reflection of the human condition. The stories focus on farmers and families, business and traditional leaders, the poor and the rich as they move through life's pathways, not knowing the changes in store for tomorrow. The stories tell tales of sadness and success, while underscoring the common denominators we all share. The stories may be seen as representing a different world, but they most likely represent the whole world.
Autorenporträt
John Moehl was born in a small sawmill town in eastern Oregon, leaving the Pacific Northwest for the savannahs of Africa--starting as a Peace Corps volunteer and finishing nearly four decades later as a senior United Nations officer. Since his formal retirement and his return to his native Oregon, he has devoted his time to writing about the people and places he has known--the experiences he has encountered with the diverse array of individuals with whom he has shared the road.
