Reseña del editor:

One of the most profound influences of globalisation is that people from everywhere are falling in love with people from everywhere else. The Globalisation of Love is about the whirls and twirls, the quirks and perks, the frustrations and the fun of a multicultural relationship. Multicultural couples have all the issues that exist in monocultural relationships, plus whatever colourful combination of culture, language, religion and ethnicity the couple bring into their marriage. Based on interviews with multicultural couples from around the world, The Globalisation of Love shows how they meet and fall in love, how they choose a country to live in, what happens in bilingual and trilingual families, how they deal with multicultural kids and careers, the consequences of having a family that looks like a mini-United Nations, how to laugh about cultural clashes that make you cry, how to share in prayer around the world, what is done for the holidays, what is cooking in the multicultural kitchen and even who is cooking it. There is a world of multicultural romance happening out there and it is all captured in The Globalisation of Love.

Críticas:

REVIEW 1 " - like taking a course titled 'We Are the World' taught by a cultural anthropologist, a marriage therapist, and a talk show host all rolled into one. With knowledge, wisdom, and humour, Wendy helps us learn and laugh as she encourages us to chart our own paths to lasting multicultural love." Joel Crohn, PhD, Author of Mixed Matches: How to Create Successful Interracial, Interethnic, and Interfaith Relationships REVIEW 2: " - an astute and entertaining look at love across cultures. If I had a GloLo partner I'd want smart, funny Wendy Williams as my new best friend." Terri A Karis, PhD Professor of Couple and Family Therapy, University of Wisconsin-Stout. Editor of Intercultural Couples: Exploring Diversity in Intimate Relationships REVIEW 3: " - a breezy, light-hearted, gossipy (but wise) take on many of the serious aspects of the globalisation of love. She makes it all sound like such fun that it may even cause a break-out of marriages across cultures." Dugan Romano, Author of Intercultural Marriage: Promises and Pitfalls
