By integrating social representation theory, dialogical self theory, and specific insights from Vygotskyan developmental psychology, this book offers a holistic framework for understanding the multifaceted nature of the self in multicultural contexts.

At its core, this book conveys a humanistic message, emphasizing the boundless power of the human imagination to fuel individuals' pursuit of knowledge, test the boundaries of their abilities, and engage both emotionally and semiotically with their heritage cultures. It provides theoretical elaborations and innovative insights through the examination of the case study of Georgian society, as well as through the analysis of specific instances of proculturation.
