Global Dialectics in Intercultural Communication cover

This book is an edited collection of case studies of contemporary issues in culture and communication around the world. Framed around a dialectical approach to intercultural communication, this collection offers a useful framework for thinking about contemporary research in this area. It offers in-depth cultural information about a broad range of specific cases in different places around the world. It is an ideal book to use in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in culture and communication, global communication and intercultural communication courses. Scholars interested in contemporary work in intercultural communication will find this collection essential in mapping the state of the art in this area.

“In Global Dialectics in Intercultural Communication, communication professors Jolanta A. Drzewiecka and Thomas K. Nakayama have compiled a wonderfully complex, rich, and diverse set of chapters that help to understand communication globally. Each chapter examines an interesting communication problematic, ranging from the construction of 'bad women' to the 'right' bodies of sex workers. In each, a deep awareness of cultural context, privileges, social struggle, historical and contemporary markers of difference, and geopolitical and globalizing features of culture-scapes broadly make this book a must-read in communication courses that want to explore things from a global perspective.”—Kent Ono, University of Utah (USA)
