Produktbeschreibung

The Global Intercultural Communication Reader is the first anthology to take a distinctly non-Eurocentric approach to the study of culture and communication. In this expanded second edition, editors Molefi Kete Asante, Yoshitaka Miike, and Jing Yin bring together thirty-two essential readings for students of cross-cultural, intercultural, and international communication. This stand-out collection aims to broaden and deepen the scope of the field by placing an emphasis on diversity, including work from authors across the globe examining the processes and politics of intercultural communication from critical, historical, and indigenous perspectives.

The collection covers a wide range of topics: the emergence and evolution of the field; issues and challenges in cross-cultural and intercultural inquiry; cultural wisdom and communication practices in context; identity and intercultural competence in a multicultural society; the effects of globalization; and ethical considerations. Many readings first appeared outside the mainstream Western academy and offer diverse theoretical lenses on culture and communication practices in the world community. Organized into five themed sections for easy classroom use, The Global Intercultural Communication Reader includes a detailed bibliography that will be a crucial resource for today's students of intercultural communication.

Rezensionen

"Shaking free from the predominant Eurocentric view of culture, this book helps us see culture in its true diversity by taking us around the world. And what an exciting journey it is! This book will be a must-read for any serious scholar of intercultural communication or, indeed, anyone interested in how cultures shape the way we understand the world around us." -Michael L. Hecht, Distinguished Professor of Communication, Arts and Sciences, Pennsylvania State University

"This anthology is intelligently selected and intellectually interconnected. It features broad perspectives, crossing boundaries of the previous framework of intercultural communication studies. This new terrain will open students' eyes and expand their field of inquiry." -Jensen Chung, Professor of Communication Studies, San Francisco State University

"In this fascinating wide-ranging new edition, Asante, Miike, and Yin convincingly tell us some of the best things-both theoretical and performative-that are crucial in shaping intercultural communication globally. This is an invaluable book, and a must-read." -Carolyn Calloway-Thomas, Professor of Communication and Culture, Indiana University and President of the World Communication Association

"The juxtaposition and range of articles in the book underline how intercultural communication is interdisciplinary; they connect scholars of all kinds of backgrounds and from different fields, including cross-cultural, intercultural, and international communication. They also offer original and fascinating indigenous perspectives, showing Afrocentricity and Asiacentricity as ways of shifting paradigms in African and Asian studies in particular, and in communication studies in general." -Daniela Sanzone, York University in the Canadian Journal of Communication
