Intercultural Communication in Contexts

This popular text addresses the core issues and concerns of intercultural communication by integrating three different perspectives including: 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. The new edition features expanded discussion on globalization, computer-mediated technologies, and the role of religion in global and domestic contexts and how they relate to intercultural communication.
