Communication Theories in a Multicultural World (eBook, PDF)

Produktbeschreibung

This volume is an up-to-date account of communication theories from around the world.
Authored by a group of eminent scholars, each chapter is a history and state-of-the-art description of the major issues in international communication theory.
While the book draws on an understanding of communication theory as a product of its socio-political and cultural context, and the challenges posed by that context, it also highlights each author's lifetime effort to critique the existing trends in communication theory and bring out the very best in each multicultural context.
