"This third edition provides a comprehensive view of intercultural communication through its concise style and unique theoretical framework of ten interconnected principles. This edition engages students in active learning by showing how these principles come into play in their intercultural journeys. The new edition has been thoroughly revised, adding new 'side trips' and introducing 'focus in theory' boxes, chapter glossaries, and fresh examples with updated references. Each chapter again includes detailed case studies with question prompts that invite students to make connections between theory and their daily lives. This text is ideally suited for upper-level or graduate intercultural communication courses within communication, linguistics, and anthropology departments. New to this edition are online materials for instructors, including a test bank and suggested further readings and links to useful resources.
