The Winning Edge: The Art and Science of the Interview

This book on cultural considerations in interviewing is written at a time in the United States of extreme polarization of political views, lifestyles, and philosophies. Our society has divided itself into us and them and people with opposing points of view, cultures, races, or religious affiliation are looked upon with suspicion and talked about with disrespect. Questioning a stranger is never easy and many of us have difficult jobs interviewing very challenging and sometimes downright frightening people. This book is intended for use in upper level undergraduate and graduate courses as well as by mental health and criminal justice professionals. It is less a how-to ask questions book than a way to bring an advanced level of understanding about communication across cultures and topics.
