Fujimura takes us across history and into Russian society, its orphanages and shelters, and along the streets of the nation to see how abandoned children are stigmatized and shunned. Readers come to understand how and why these children, left orphans by death or by choice, form their own culture to find power and to survive. This pioneering work on child abandonment looks at Russian society from a new angle: from the perspectives of abandoned youngsters and their caretakers. Based on direct observation of and interviews with abandoned children, this work shows why any effort to rescue these children calls for a deep understanding of Russian culture, and why any effort to address abandonment in Russia calls for a joint effort between psychologists, social workers, and the children themselves.Researcher Fujimura takes us across history, into Russian society, its orphanages and shelters, and along the streets of the nation to see how abandoned children are stigmatized and shunned.

This book offers an accessible reference and roadmap for the practical application of cross-cultural competence (3C) for leaders dedicated to leading with diversity, inclusion and personal development in mind. Developing Cross-Cultural Competence for Leaders takes readers from ideational to real, asking them to step out of their comfort zone and learn to navigate cultural differences. The authors invite readers to join them on a journey of discovery of themselves, their personal and professional peers and ultimately the cultural landscape they inhabit both knowingly and oftentimes unknowingly all in the hopes of opening doors to empathetic and effective communication. The skillset required for 3C is developed throughout the book beginning with a discussion of relevant concepts, leading the readers through narratives of extreme environments and ending with a roadmap for use in leadership positions. Each chapter discusses a foundational idea contextualized with sample narratives and ending with thought questions. The authors summon readers to embrace dissimilarities, shift perspectives, dare to engage and navigate in new and even adverse social and cultural contexts. Developing Cross-Cultural Competence is an essential reading for students of leadership development, as well as military and non-military professionals.

Now in its second edition, this book offers an accessible reference and strategy for the practical application of cross-cultural competence (3C) for leaders operating across complex operational environments, including the Armed Forces and government. Developing Cross-Cultural Competence for Leaders takes readers from ideational understanding to operational practice, challenging them to move beyond comfort zones and learn to navigate cultural complexity as a leadership requirement. The authors invite readers on a journey of self-discovery and professional awareness, examining how leaders engage peers, partners, and populations across the human terrain they inhabit—both consciously and unconsciously—in order to enable effective, empathetic, and mission-relevant communication. The book develops the skill set required for 3C through a structured progression: introducing core concepts, situating them within narratives drawn from high-risk and extreme operational environments, and culminating in a practical roadmap for application in leadership and command contexts. Each chapter centers on a foundational concept, contextualized through applied narratives and concluding with guided reflection questions designed to support leader development and decision-making. Throughout the text, readers are called to recognize cultural complexity as operationally significant, shift perspectives, engage and navigate foreign contexts, and operate effectively within unfamiliar, contested, and at times adverse social and cultural environments. This revised edition includes updates aligned with Department of War guidance, as well as a new chapter addressing the development of cross-cultural competence in cyberspace and digitally mediated operational domains. The book is essential reading for students of leadership development, as well as military and civilian professionals preparing to lead in complex, multinational, and culturally diverse operational environments.

This book presents a cultural history of human-animal relations in Germany, Japan, Russia and the United States, with a focus on the uses of animals for comfort, healing and in developing a sense of well-being. Fujimura and Nommensen discuss the contexts in which the culture of wellbeing has developed and incorporated alternative therapies with animals. The authors turn to qualitative research conducted over a period of two years in veterinary clinics, hospices, reading programs, search and rescue organizations as well as an extensive review of existing literature on cultural studies of human-animal relations to inform their analysis of complex ways in which humans and animals interact. The extent to which animals are accepted either as members of society or, in contrast, as mere material possessions poses a cultural contradiction leading to questions of the ethical treatment of animals.
