...Latin world is remarkably diverse, which means that advertisers must hit common cultural cues and appeal to U.S. Latinos' shared values and experiences-like close-knit families or having loved ones in another country-while reinforcing the brand identities that Hispanics recognize. Casting agents often seek neutral accents and ethnically appropriate actors who appeal to a broad spectrum, a task more complicated than it seems, even though about 67% of U.S. Latinos are of Mexican heritage. In some Latin American countries, people with the lightest skin color make up the elite and dominate the media, including ad images. This jars...
...itself will translate substantially into prosperity. The truth is, Africa is a dysfunctional continent, scarred by the most damaging legacy of colonization: the virtual destruction of its social, political and belief systems. Self-esteem, mutual regard and tolerance have given way to self-loathing, mutual disregard and ethnic and religious intolerance. Africa needs a cultural revolution that will heal old wounds, break down artificial boundaries and re-emphasize the traditional African view of the commonality of people.

RELEASED. REBIYA KADEER, 58, prominent Muslim political prisoner; by the Chinese government; in Beijing. Kadeer, a member of the predominantly Muslim Uighur ethnic group in northwest China's Xinjiang province, was arrested in August 1999 and sentenced to eight years in prison for "providing secret information to foreigners."

Gotovina led the August 1995 Croatian offensive that crushed ethnic Serb rebels, ending four years of war. Del Ponte's indictment charges him with individual criminal responsibility, as commander, for the unlawful killing by Croatian troops of at least 150 Serbs, and the forced expulsion of at least 150,000 others. But to many in Croatia he's a national...
...works in China may not work in America, and vice versa," says Morton, 37. U.S. managers tend to air problems publicly and resolve them through collaboration, whereas Chinese managers--accustomed to hierarchical reporting structures--prefer to handle conflict privately, so that no one loses face. Crimson's companies tap ethnic-Chinese executives trained in international business practices to manage the work forces there. Along with financial payoffs, Ho gets the satisfaction of carrying on his father's legacy. "He always wanted to link the U.S. and China in a positive way, and I'm helping to make that happen...
