This book by Fr. Edison Fernandes takes the reader on a journey of crossing cultures and crisscrossing lives of nine international students who studied in the Philippines. It is a new world from a stranger’s eyes, ears, and heart, in which he/she encounters people who may unexpectedly turn out to be friends, defenders, or critics, or even enemies. The book explores the concept of discrimination as felt and lived by international students and identifies the various manifestations or elements of this deemed discrimination. The author explores this experience of discrimination from a vantage point of having been an international student himself, careful to keep his research distanced from the topic, but with a willingness to unearth deep feelings and attitudes. Through phenomenological research, he uncovers six major themes that he explains in detail in this interesting and absorbing book, and to which many readers will be able to identify with as part of their collection of memories and experiences of encounters with peoples and cultures different from their own.
