"This book discusses different theories of intercultural communication and provides a deeper understanding of how these theories impact different aspects of our life. The focus is more on the present and future versus the past."

"One of the most up-to-date textbooks on intercultural communication. Intelligently written, it is also one of the very first in which I can see a genuine effort to present intercultural communication from a less US-centric perspective."

Clara L. Popa

"This is a timely book that references current events and asks students to think deeply about their own attitudes towards themselves and others to teach intercultural communication."
