"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."

Gretchen Arthur

"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."
