Marilyn Ray's book is more than timely. She has done superb job writing a book which covers so many different elements of transcultural caring in nursing. She has delved into spiritual and ethical aspects of caring that are so critical in today's US healthcare delivery systems. I particularly liked the case studies that she provided, along with probing questions at the end of each chapter, which make the reader think. Her probes for self reflection are important as well. Ray has included caring within the major world's religions which is useful addition to nursing. Ray's Transcultural Communicative Spiritual Caring Tool for Cultural Competency: C Compassion: A Advocacy, R Respect, I Interaction, N Negotiation, & G Guidance covers every aspect of the nurse patient relationship, but can also be applied to the nurse interacting with all those within healthcare delivery systems. Each component is explicated in clear ways that can be applied directly in nursing practice. She makes clear that Awareness, Understanding and Choice are critical for the nurse who is transculturally caring, and one must have self aware to acknowledge honestly one's own [unconscious] biases and prejudices.Ray included a citation at the beginning of Chapter 6 that reasonated with me "Deep within us when the noise of other appetites is stilled, there is a drive to know, to understand, to see why...." I found my drive to know to understand etc was restimulated. Not only does this book provide insights into the cultures of many different ethnic group Ray has also included organizational culture and caring for which she is justly well known.
