Intercultural Communication: A Critical Perspective – eBook

Intercultural Communication: A Critical Perspective (PDF) aims to inspire a profound comprehension of and active engagement in intercultural justice. The ebook offers students a comprehensive exploration of modern intercultural communication from a power-focused standpoint. Through this distinctive lens, it vividly illustrates how small-scale communication actions, interactions, and connections within and between cultural groups can impact and be impacted by larger structural dynamics, institutions, and influences – and vice versa.

The ebook begins by introducing the concept of intercultural communication and demonstrating how ubiquitous it is in our everyday lives. Subsequent chapters address the ties between culture, power, and intercultural communication; how powerful ideologies develop from cultural views and ways of life; and the interplay of cultural representation and speaking for or about a cultural group. Readers learn the ways in which individuals and structures of power shape identity, how different structures and groups remember and forget the past, and how racialization relates to intercultural communication. The final chapters explore power dynamics with regard to globalization, intercultural relationships and desire, and our roles in intercultural communication.
