There are many recommendations that I believe can take us from the living room of our house into the exciting world of diversity and the different types of cultural disagreements it creates, as well as imagine solutions to resolve them. So, in today's post, we are going to make these recommendations that I hope you like:
My name is Abdou by Nicolás Castellanos
This small novel puts us in the situation of what a border represents, the number of families it divides and the anguish that this generates. You already know that it is said that Algeciras (or in this case Melilla) are the door to Africa, but the other part (Farhana, Beni Enzar, Tanger...) are the window to Europe, you look at it but you cannot enter. A shocking story told in an easy way to understand border dynamics.
Amin Maalouf's murderous identities
Amin Maalouf is an Arab writer, of Christian religion, who lives in a European country, and is also a reference in everything he says about interculturality. This book, which is not exactly the last, is a true compendium of aspects that we must have when working in a diverse environment.
Mondays they will love us from Najat el Hachmi
Book that is nothing more and nothing less than a Nadal award, where we are told about the difficulties of those second generations that have grown up in our country and that suffer a cultural diglossia, one outside the home and the other inside. An essential novel to approach youth and gender work with Muslim populations.
Home away from home by Carmen Dorado and Macarena Pérez
Book of photographs that we were lucky enough to promote not long ago. It portrays a series of refugees living in Andalusia. A visual and interesting way to bring us closer to the reality of the people who ask us for international protection and who live among us waiting to return to their countries.
The Papalagui
Graphic novel also essential to understand that we are all beings and that we look at reality through cultural glasses in which we are educated when we are small. An interesting reflection not only to know how we look at others, but also how they look at us.
Practical manual for mediators. The mystery of Mediation by Javier Alés and Juan Diego Mata.
This manual by these two fellow teachers in this school is also essential to know what the dimension of Mediation is, its techniques, its development and its limits. If you don't have it, it will be useful for any mediation you dedicate yourself to.
Approach to the minor Moroccan emigrant of Jose Carlos Cabrera
And the last. It is rare to recommend something of our own, but I think it has enough contribution not only to bring us closer to the reality of the so-called MENAS or Unaccompanied Children, but also to their culture and non-verbal language. And what's more, it's free, you can download it from the Internet.
Continue training in the world of mediation thanks to masters like this. Don't run out of places.
