The Global Intercultural Communication Reader

The Global Intercultural Communication Reader is the first anthology of its kind to take a distinctly nonEurocentric approach to the study of culture and communication. In this expanded second edition, editors Molefi Kete Asante, Yoshitaka Miike, and Jing Yin bring together thirtytwo essential readings for students of crosscultural, intercultural, and international communication. This standout collection aims to broaden and deepen the scope of the field by placing an emphasis on diversity, including selections from authors across the globe who examine the processes and politics of intercultural communication from critical, historical, and indigenous perspectives.
The collection covers a wide range of topics: the emergence and evolution of the field, issues and challenges in crosscultural and intercultural inquiry, cultural wisdom and communication practices in context, identity and intercultural competence in a multicultural society, and globalization and ethical considerations. Many readings first appeared outside the mainstream Western academy, and offer diverse theoretical lenses on culture and communication practices in the world community.
The Global Intercultural Communication Reader is edited by Molefi Kete Asante, one of the founders of the intercultural communication field, and international scholars Yoshitaka Miike (Japan) and Jing Yin (China). Organized into five themed sections for easy classroom use, The Global Intercultural Communication Reader includes a detailed bibliography that will be a crucial resource for today's students of intercultural communication.
