註釋Where groups of people gather, there is always an elephant in the room: difference.

Elephants are remarkable, complex creatures which take up much space. Likewise, matters of race, culture, and difference require creative and complicated conversations-which moves us beyond ""we are all alike"" or ""we all matter""-to understanding the significance of difference, as both a gift and a challenge.

Intercultural Communication in Your Life teaches readers the essential nature of difference, what to do with difference, and how to see difference beyond deficiency. It provides a lens for understanding the complex networks of communication in which we dwell.

Readers are invited to study communication and culture as a part of their everyday lived experience including but not limited to popular culture, co-culture, worldview, race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, personal relationships, verbal/nonverbal communication, conflict, new media, and more.

The new second edition of Intercultural Communication in Your Life:
  • Streamlines the vast research base for intercultural communication and speaks directly to the reader.
  • Takes readers on a journey through many rooms, personal and professional. Readers will see many critical topics, theories, and dialogue embedded within this text-providing concrete and complex, but accessible approaches to studying and thinking seriously about culture and everyday life.
  • Incorporates an In Your Life organizing feature - a process designed to develop the reader's critical thinking skills and make him/her a more reflexive communicator with the ability to adapt and continually improve.
  • Is a perfect choice for a variety of face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses - including introduction to intercultural communication, cultural competence, communication and diversity, and more.
