This book explores a new approach to cultural literacy. Taking a pedagogical perspective, it looks at the skills, knowledge, and abilities involved in understanding and interpreting cultural differences, and proposes new ways of approaching such differences as sources of richness in intercultural and interdisciplinary collaborations. Cultural Literacy and Empathy in Education Practice balances theory with practice, providing practical examples for educators who wish to incorporate cultural literacy into their teaching. The book includes case studies, interviews with teachers and students, and examples of exercises and assessments, all backed by years of robust scholarly research.

A centuries-old diary describes a world where people live in a giant supermarket. A woman fights a bull and turns into a tree. There is a government organization that translates texts from the future. An elephant turns into a man and starts a religious movement. These and other disparate stories collide across time and space, forming a puzzle that must be solved to save humanity.
