What is intercultural communication? How does perspective shape a person’s definition of the key tenets of the term and the field? These are the core questions explored by this accessible global introduction to intercultural communication. Each chapter explores the topic from a different geographic, religious, theoretical, and/or methodological perspective, with an emphasis on non-Western approaches, including Buddhist, South American, Muslim, and Chinese perspectives. Featuring the voices of a range of international contributors, this new textbook presents the full breadth of diverse approaches to intercultural communication and showcases the economic, political, and cultural/societal needs for and benefits of communicative competence.
"A refreshing and important departure from current textbooks on intercultural communication, Global Perspectives on Intercultural Communication is truly global and authentically intercultural, with chapter authors and scholarship representing many world regions." –Robert Shuter, Arizona State University
"Global Perspectives on Intercultural Communication blends essays on the experience and study of communication from authors in areas and religions around the world with detailed chapters on topics such as identity, language, adaptation, and health, touching throughout on new media. This unique combination makes this an ideal text for global students of intercultural communication." –John Baldwin, Illinois State University
