In an era of globalization and the attendant population mobility, this edited volume shines a spotlight on the diverse identities and practices of ethnically diverse families and schools in contexts where multicultural policies may not always receive top priority. Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, a continent characterized by its rich customs, diverse populations, and multilingualism, the book explores the complex and multifaceted concept of multiculturalism.

The book features a collection of studies and frameworks that shed light on how marginalized communities navigate and adapt to the diversity they encounter. These insights include practices that can foster these efforts, highlighting the intersection of identities, cultural values, efforts, conflicts, and religions in shaping the dynamics of diversity within and across families and institutions.

Collectively, these works make a significant contribution by invigorating debates on the flows and evolution of cultural values and practices within and across families and institutions. This book will appeal to researchers, practitioners, and readers with a keen interest in the current state of cultural diversity among minority families in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
