Cuando Silvestre, un muchacho de la tribú de los sirús, relata su sueño-visión al jefe de la aldea, no comprende aún la trascendencia que tal gesto tendrá. Sin pretenderlo, se verá empujado a iniciar una aventura llena de peligros, misterio y traiciones junto a su gran amigo y compañero Uran, un urgmel de las llanuras. Durante su viaje se verán obligados a establecer una tregua con los verguetas, sus eternos enemigos, pues ellos son la única estirpe de Dhulma, el Mundo Vegetal, que conoce el paso a otros mundos. Poco a poco el sirú aprenderá que tal y como dicen las historias, su mundo, Dhulma, no es el único que existe, sino que forma parte de un conglomerado de otros planetas conocidos como los siete mundos de Suria. Comprenderá también la vital importancia de los artefactos de poder, los yibais, y de como su sueño-visión, de hacerse realidad, podría trastornar el equilibrio de los mundos.

ISBN: 1137545445

This book explores the decades-long use of the notion of interculturality in education and other fields, arguing that it is now time to move beyond certain assumptions towards a richer and more realistic understanding of the ‘intercultural’. Many concepts such as culture, identity and intercultural competence are discussed and revised. Myths about interculturality are also unpacked and dispelled. Written by one of the leading scholars in the field, this book proposes a very useful framework to address theoretical and methodological issues related to interculturality. This somewhat provocative book will be of interest to anyone who wrestles with this knotty but central notion of our times.
