Rezensionen
"The combination has the advantage bringing into one's hand a somewhat integrated presentation, guidance and a direction without the leakage and serendipity of online meanderings."
"This broad introduction to intercultural communication, uncommon for its inclusion of ethics, civic engagement, and global media, also integrates popular culture examples likely to appeal to students."
"Well written, lively, and practical, Intercultural Communication for Everyday Life is the first intercultural communication textbook to challenge students to think critically about civic and political engagement in intercultural contexts. Bravo!"
"Baldwin, Means Coleman, González, and Shenoy-Packer have written an intercultural communication text that starts with a rich conceptualization of culture while, at the same time, focusing students on basic concepts, key terms and frameworks in a rigorous but approachable style. Avoiding the "binary" contrasts that characterize so many books, the authors provide examples from around the world so students learn about cultures rather than about US culture compared to "the others." In addition, the book has a number of other exciting features, including social scientific and interpretive/critical approaches, a fuller discussion of ethics and globalization, and a community engagement focus that invites students to understand and critique materials and then explore how they can be applied in communities. This book will engage and challenge your students and, as well, you as a teacher to explore the complex and shifting world of culture in order to reach new understandings and develop new practices."
