Diversity Competence : Cultures don’t meet, people do by Edwin Hoffman and Arjan Verdooren. Bussum: Uitgeverij Coutinho. 2018 (352 pages) ISBN: 978-90-4690598-2

Edwin Hoffman and Arjan Verdooren’s book, Diversity Competence, tackles the many confusions operating between people from different cultural and/or ethnic backgrounds. Their book − a comprehensive toolbox examining many aspects of intercultural communication − features a great wealth of examples, some of which are very humorous indeed. Diversity Competence would be a useful resource for (mental) health workers, managers, trainers, teachers and students with Western, non-Western or migration backgrounds who are faced with clients or team members from different cultural, ethnic, educational and class backgrounds.
