Today, students are more familiar with other cultures than ever before because of the media, Internet, local diversity, and their own travels abroad. Using a social constructionist framework, Inter/Cultural Communication provides today′s students with a rich understanding of how culture and communication affect and effect each other. Weaving multiple approaches together to provide a comprehensive understanding of and appreciation for the diversity of cultural and intercultural communication, this text helps students become more aware of their own identities and how powerful their identities can be in facilitating change―both in their own lives and in the lives of others.
A very insightful and illuminating book about various topics and realities in the sphere of inter-/cultural communication. It is a must for everyone who wants to learn how to communicate effectively with people coming from different parts of the world. Also, it is a good introductory book for those who do not have any idea about ICC, as well as a perfect guidebook for the experts to brush upon basic concepts. Highly recommended!
