Worlds of Difference - A Home In The World

Wednesday, December 28, 2005 at 8pm

As people become more mobile, the concept of home changes dramatically. This hour looks at the complex physical and emotional connections between culture and place with stories from a boomtown in Ireland, an island off the coast of Chile, and Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank and Lebanon.

Part three of a six-hour documentary series hosted by Maria Hinojosa that explores local culture in a global age. Intimate and sound-rich, each hour addresses a major theme (the relationship between culture and place, culture and language, culture and power, culture and markets, culture and religious belief, and the challenge of diversity in multicultural societies) and contain pieces previously heard on Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Living on Earth.

More information about the series is available on the Worlds of Difference website.
