Intercultural Communication in Contexts

by Judith N. Martin, Thomas K. Nakayama

This text addresses the core issues and concerns of intercultural communication by integrating three different perspectives: the social psychological, the interpretive, and the critical. The dialectical framework, integrated throughout the book, is used as a lens to examine the relationship of these research traditions. This text is unique in its emphasis on the importance of histories, popular culture, and identities.

I read this for class. It was a'ight

[Reader · Rating 2 out of 5]

First off, this book feels so unprofessional. The amount of errors and poor sentence structuring makes it feel like im proof reading a crappy college essay.
Secondly, the book is sometimes insensitive. It randomly throws in school shootings and lgbt people as examples for topics that are not even closely related. I would be fine with some of the examples used if the book wrote more context about them.. but the books just haphazardly throws in some triggering topics.
Very unhappy that I have to read this for class.

A little long winded, but useful concepts.

There are a ton of grammatical errors and other mistakes that show this book was not proofread at all.

A wonderful addition to any intercultural communication class. Melds well with extra readings that might be assigned from academic journals. Not only covers theory - gives examples of theory in practice.
