Americans are often puzzled by their interactions with Israelisthe way the culture challenges authority, breaches of taboos, and their forceful selfconfidence. Border Crossings: American Interactions with Israelis by Lucy Shahar and David Kurz, allows readers to unravel the puzzle by providing an analysis of AmericanIsraeli cultural differences and highlighting the contrast between the two cultures through case studies, critical incidents, helpful analogies, and models.Border Crossings covers the fundamental aspects of Israeli society and its people, and the authors also examine direct AmericanIsraeli interaction through reallife experiences of Americans in Israel, bringing many firsthand experiences into play, and providing unique and thoughtprovoking perspectives on the oneofakind experience of living in or traveling to Israel. Border Crossings takes a practical approach to helping Americans have greater success in their dealings with Israelis in all contexts, with particular emphasis on IsraeliAmerican workplace relationships. It's the perfect companion for North Americans who engage in ongoing communication with Israeli colleagues, clients or friends, as well as immigrants or sojourners.
