Rezensionen

"This is an enormously compelling next edition. Updated with recent work and international events, and continuing its unique feature of numerous invaluable images and posing really poignant questions, this reader-friendly volume is essential reading, across the entire spectrum of intercultural scholarship, for both students and seasoned scholars alike!" -- Howie Giles, University of California, Santa Barbara

"This is, quite simply, the best intercultural text on the market. It offers an insightful theoretical grounding of intercultural communication that deepens and enriches our overall understanding. Updated illustrations, key terms, case studies, and thoughtful 'side-trips' for students brilliantly reinforces and extends

the book's main themes and issues." -Deborah Eicher-Catt, The Pennsylvania State University-York

"Igor Klyukanov's book Principles of Intercultural Communication takes a unique approach to teaching a discipline that until today is in an essential search for its position in academia and society: A meanwhile considerable tradition of research today is confronted with urgent demands for critical thinking and reflexivity - emerging from postcolonial and postmodern thought on cultural politics. This confrontation very often results in a passionate "either-or" debate. Igor Klyukanov in his book takes one step back and turns these debates into constructive reflection: Thinking about intercultural communication turns into a chance for reconsidering the ethical foundations of our overall social lives and for developing a deeper understanding of ethics in interculturality." -Dominic Busch, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Germany

"In an age when multiculturalism connotes a congealing of identity around ethnicity, gender, race, sexuality, nationality and other attributes, whereby groups seal themselves off and resist influences of others, Igor Klyukanov's Principles of Intercultural Communication introduces readers to the manifold ways that cultures connect and nurture new identities, forms and relationships. While depicting and respecting distinctive cultural traditions, histories and practices, Klyukanov elaborates ten essential principles that, when embodied in everyday life, ensure constructive and sustainable communication between diverse persons and groups. No other intercultural textbook comes close to this accomplishment."-Andrew R. Smith, Edinboro University
