"As an adult TCK, I have long wrestled with how I fit into this world. This book is the "bible" for anyone who wants to understand the blessings and the curses of growing up multiculturally."―Wm. Paul Young, author of the #1 New York Times Best Seller The ShackPRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION:"Growing up as a TCK has been a gift and has significantly shaped my life and work. As I interact with world leaders one day and with those living in refugee camps the next, I continually draw upon my experience of living among different cultures. I am delighted to see the lessons learned from the traditional TCK experience live on in this new edition of Third Culture Kids."―Scott Gration, Maj Gen, USAF (Ret), President Obama’s Special Envoy to Sudan"Because Third Culture Kids have been exposed to other cultures in significant ways and have experienced multiple transitions while growing up, it's in their DNA to thrive within the pace and nature of globalization. This book is a must to understand the challenges TCKs face and the unique skills they can leverage as global leaders."―Katrina Burrus, Ph.D., CEO of MKB Conseil & Coaching and author of Global Nomadic Leaders: How to Identify, Attract, and Retain Them"Visionary, bold, and embracing. This may be the first book ever that hasn't left a single person out."―Dr. Douglas W. Ota, author of Safe Passage: How Mobility"In today's globalized and highly mobile world, the lessons to be learned from this new edition of Third Culture Kids transcend mere cultural enlightenment about a unique group of individuals growing up between worlds. This book is timelier than ever, and should be essential reading for parents anywhere in the world raising cross-cultural children."―Robin Pascoe, author of Raising Global Nomads: Parenting Abroad in an On-Demand World"This revised edition of Third Culture Kids opens up the topic of cultural hybridization in new and exciting ways. By recognizing similarities between TCKs, children from bi/multicultural parentage, children of immigrants, those who live on or near borderlands,international adoptees and those forced into geographic and cultural transition through war and/or famine, the author puts her finger on one of the most interesting, complex and potentially most liberating aspects of our increasingly globalizing society. This book opens up hope for dialogue, empathy, mutual learning and ultimately the joyful acceptance of the diversity in us all."―Marc Levitt, storyteller, educator, and creator of www.thirdculturestories.com"The additions on parenting of TCKs added to this seminal book are life-changing. Though I own the first and second editions I need this one too. I wish I had read it before our TCKs became teenagers."―Jo Parfitt, publisher, Summertime Publishing, author of Career in Your Suitcase and founder of the Families in Global Transition Writing Residency Program"When I read this book I understood why it was so special. I realized that I finally belonged somewhere... Knowing that I was a Third Culture Child, that other people experienced the same thing, was a sort of liberation."―Amel Derragui, founder of TandemNomads.com"Ruth's writings consistently set a high bar in any discussion or writing on Third Culture Kids. The added value of this new edition is the inclusion of the thoughts of David's son, Michael. This makes it even more valuable, as the reader is able to catch a glimpse of the thoughts and reflections of the next generation."―Lois J. Bushong, Author of Belonging Everywhere & Nowhere: Insights into Counseling the Globally Mobile"This has been the single-most influential book in the field of personal intercultural transitions, drawing its audience both from individual TCKs who read it for self-discovery and the professionals who study and support them. With this important third edition, the authors continue their perceptive analysis. Written in an engaging style that crosses disciplinary bridges, there's critical information here for TCKs (at any point in their self-awareness) and the parents, researchers, educators, counselors and administrators who are cheering them on."―Anne P. Copeland, PhD Executive Director, The Interchange Institute David C. Pollock worked with TCKs and adult TCKs for more than twenty years and logged thousands of miles conducting seminars and conferences for TCKs, their parents, and sponsoring organizations.Ruth E. Van Reken, herself an adult TCK and a parent and grandparent of TCKs, is author of one of the first books written about the TCK experience, Letters Never Sent.

Children of expatriates Third Culture Kids are children reared in a country other than their passport - they develop a cultural identity that is neither multi-cultural nor bi-cultural but is rather a third culture. Parts of their parents' culture, which they pick up from home and/or an international school situation and parts of the culture in which they are living are co-mingled in such a way as to form a third culture in which they live and that is unique to each person; yet when a third culture kid meets another third culture kid, regardless of background, there is an immediate recognition and immediate kinship. There are some fundamentals, however, that are characteristic of all third culture kids. Common characteristics are a 1) cross cultural lifestyle, 2) high mobility, 3) expected repatriation somewhere, and 4) often a system identity with the sponsoring organization/business/ministry. A TCK can be a military brat, a missionary kid, a business brat, a government brat, a global nomad. All third culture kids have a broadened world view, often speak two or more languages, are often cultural bridges for others, have a feeling of rootlessness - home is everywhere and nowhere - and a sense of belonging with others of similar background. Third culture kids struggle with identity and experience grief - often unresolved. They are usually two or more years ahead academically and two or three years behind socially. Van Reken broadens the concept of Third Culture Kids to include Cross-cultural kids and does so in a way that is scholarly and practical. This should be required reading for everyone interested in cross-cultural studies/cross cultural families and who would like to understand children reared cross-culturally within their own country and those reared outside their home country. Expatriates should read this book as well parents who are rearing children in a cross-cultural situation (ethnic minority parents; immigrant parents; mixed race parents, parents who adopt from another nation, and parents who move often from one region of the U.S. to another.)Required reading for ex-pats/ Kindle version is just fine Why didn't anyone tell me about this book 10 years ago? This should be required reading for all State Department, DOD, corporate, and any other families moving overseas.- A bit dry in the beginning.- Has stories sprinkled throughout the book.- Great practical suggestions on how to make transitions from country to country.- Section about making choices about education overseas.- Section about repatriating.- Gives resources if you want to connect with other ex-pats.*** The Kindle version: Although it needs a better edit, it isn't nearly as bad as another reviewer made it out to be. (Goodness! When I'm limited to only being able to ship 7,400 lbs, Kindle books saves room for more homeschooling books!)This is a great updated edition of the classic book This is a great updated edition of the classic book. I really appreciated the expanded information on Cross-Cultural Kids (immigrants, refugees, bicultural & biracial children). There is still so much we are learning in this field! Van Reken and Pollock have put together a volume full of examples which is enjoyable to read, as well as informative.
