| Abstract: | An understanding of intercultural communication is essential in an increasingly global society. In The Essential Guide to Intercultural Communication professor and scholar Jennifer Willis Rivera uses lively contemporary examples to explore the impact culture has on communication from the way we construct our personal identities; to how media represent culture; to how we communicate with family, romantic partners, and colleagues. Culture is intertwined with every aspect of our communication, from self-concept and self-presentation; to the way we communicate with friends, family, and colleagues; to mass media and popular culture. The Essential Guide to Intercultural Communication provides a comprehensive overview of the key concepts of intercultural communication, and illustrates those concepts at work through contemporary examples from everyday life and the mass media. The guide helps students become more critically aware of culture’s presence in their everyday lives. |
