Culture gives humans a sense of identity. This title examines how cultures around the world mix and change in response to migration and settlement. This fascinating book examines: cultural superiority—suppressing or abusing the culture of an indigenous people; coercion or conversion—forcing another culture to adopt beliefs or a way of life, or when it willingly "converts;" integration—adopting the beliefs and ways of a new homeland; protection—the belief that culture must be "protected" and "preserved;" fusion—the successful mixing of different cultures. Examples from history include: the slave trade and the impact of African culture on North America and then the world; the forcing of Native Americans to adopt European culture; the British Empire and India and the cultural interchange between the two countries; the mixing and spreading of different cuisines, music, art and design styles; the growth of multi-cultural cities.
