Worlds of Difference - Coming To Terms

Monday, January 2, 2005 at 8pm

Many societies are forced to confront the past as they chart their course to the future. In Burundi, former enemies are learning how to share power without violence, while in northern Spain, a Basque family is divided on the question of self-determination. In Canada, members of the Haida nation are symbolically reclaiming what is theirs, and in Istanbul, a young Turkish novelist digs for memories and clues about the future on the street where she once lived and wrote.

Part five 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.
