Intercultural Communication in Contexts

This text addresses the core issues and concerns of intercultural communication by integrating three different perspectives: the social psychological, the interpretive, and the critical. The dialectical framework, integrated throughout the book, is used as a lens to examine the relationship of these research traditions. It offers students a framework for thinking about intercultural communication and the multiple ways of approaching it. This text is unique in its emphasis on the importance of histories, popular culture and identities.
