book urges readers to develop a radical capacity to unthink and rethink interculturality, through multiple, pluri-perspectival and honest dialogues between the authors, and their students. This book does not give interculturality a normative scaffolding but
envisages it differently by identifying some of its polyphonic textures. China¡¦s rich engagement with interculturality serves to support the importance of being curious about other ways of thinking about the notion beyond the ¡¥West¡¦ only. As such, the issues
of culture, identity, language, translation, intercultural competence and silent transformations (amongst others) are re-evaluated in a different light. This is a highly informative and carefully presented book, providing scientific insights for readers with
an interest in interculturality.</span><br>

Between East and West is one of few truly intercultural books. Dervin, Sude, Yuan and Chen do not just recount a juxtaposition of different ideas and viewpoints. Instead, they present an interaction of different perspectives that is based on thinking, talking
and listening among diverse scholars, practitioners and students. Nowadays, the concept of ¡¥interculturality¡¦ became a new populism, that is dominated by ¡¥Western¡¦ ways of thinking. Considering the terminological confusion and misunderstandings across the
world and across disciplines (and also the many creative related concepts and terms that have been invented in recent years), there is an urgent necessity to develop a shared terminology, grounded in epistemological bases. This book offers readers the opportunity
to ¡¥listen to China¡¦, to engage with her, to start a dialogue with her around ¡¥interculturality¡¦. If readers are ready to go beyond stereotypes and prejudices, they will discover many unknown paths. They will not learn an orthodox normative scaffolding related
to the term ¡¥interculturality¡¦. Instead, by listening to different ¡¥musicians¡¦, the book delivers precious opportunities for developing perplexity, modesty and generosity¡Xfundamental steps for finding shared meanings and terminology.¡¨ </span></b></span></div>

Sude, Yuan and Chen have put together a book that provides urgently needed contributions and corrections to hegemonic global discourses on interculturality in several ways. Even though our globalized world attaches great importance to the phenomenon of interculturality,
yet the term is still often misunderstood and does more harm than good. The point is to radically decolonize and de-center a formerly Western concept. The authors do not understand this task as a mere call to our consciousness, but they equally practice and
live this de-centering and decolonization in their book. Interculturality here is challenged on the levels of theory-building, developing research methods as well as ethical considerations. Not to forget that from a Western point of view, China is still a
prototypical bluescreen for culturalist stereotyping. Readers thus gain vivid insights into the multifaceted nature and complexity of what can be understood by interculturality worldwide. Interculturality Between East and West illustrates the extent to which
we need to move away from old patterns of thinking in research around interculturality. Dervin, Sude, Yuan and Chen have succeeded here in producing a very unique book which actually should set a new standard.¡¨ </span></b></span></div>

<div>Jay Blades: Learning to Read at 51<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Jay Blades, presenter of The Repair Shop, has decided it¡¦s finally time to learn to read. He has been told he has the reading age of an 11-year-old. Throughout his life he has found ways of avoiding the written word, and this film digs deep into how this
has shaped him. </div>
<br>
Blades left school with no qualifications and nothing to his name than a reputation as a great fighter. Can he now, in mid-life, tackle what he failed to learn the first time round?
<br>
<br>
He¡¦s not alone in facing this issue. Research findings suggest that a quarter of all children in England leave primary school, like Blades, unable to read to the expected level. More than eight million adults in the UK have poor literacy skills, and half of
all prisoners either can¡¦t read or struggle to do so. <br>
<br>
Using a system developed for use in prisons by the Shannon Trust, Jay commits to learn to read with Read Easy, a charity whose volunteers do one-to-one coaching. Along the way, he revisits key moments in his life that were shaped by not being able to read:
the ¡¥learner¡¦ class at school, the dead-end jobs he had to take because he had no qualifications, and not being able to read his children bedtime stories. Daughter Zola is now 15, and Jay wants to read her a story before she reaches adulthood on her next birthday.
<br>
<br>
<div>Following Jay over six months of learning, this intimate and revealing film goes behind closed doors to see how he organizes his upholstery business without the written word, manages on The Repair Shop without scripts and struggles each day with his vowels
and consonants as he tries to learn phonics. We meet Jay¡¦s girlfriend Lisa, his daughter Zola and his ¡¥adopted¡¦ family who all help him with his reading challenge. Jay also meets school pupils and adults who struggle with reading and writing, as he discovers
the human stories behind the nation¡¦s literacy statistics. <br>
