About the Book
Similarity in Diversity documents experiential learning of exchange scholars from Malaysia and the USA. This anthology of personal essays presents the full range of crosscultural experiences-experiences which enhance mutual understanding and create a sense of affinity among the exchange scholars.
The personal essays in this collection are interesting, shocking, and unforgettable. Anyone who is interested in studying in the United States or going to Malaysia should read this book. This volume provides a rare perspective-observing a country from students' point of view. As students learn, share and make the connections, we create a better world for us and for future generations.
While these essays do not necessarily present a representative picture either of Malaysia or the USA, the sketches do describe exchange experiences of interest to anyone who is concerned with people, cultures and diversity.
The production of this book was partially sponsored by the Fulbright Academy of Science & Technology. www.FulbrightAcademy.org
