Intercultural Health Communication brings together the fields of
health and intercultural research in new work from leading
communication scholars. This book is based on two premises: neither
health nor culture is a neutral concept. The authors of this
collection employ critical, qualitative, and interpretive research
methodologies in order to engage the political and intersectional
nature of health and culture simultaneously. Changing notions of
healthy behaviors (or ill health) are not just a matter of
knowledge; they live inside discourses about the body, aesthetics,
science, and the world. We see this book as an important step
towards developing a more transnational view of health
communication. Intercultural Health Communication ties together the
critical public health with critical intercultural communication.
Through these connections, the authors engage the health research
in, amongst others: HIV, cancer, trauma, celiac disease,
radioactive pollution, food politics, and prenatal care.
Intercultural Health Communication emerges from a broad need to
address connections and challenges to incorporating health
communication with intercultural communication approaches. After
compiling this book, we see ready connections to public health,
global studies, gender and sexuality studies and ethnic studies. In
this day and age, nation states have to be considered within the
broader frameworks of globalization, transnationalism and global
health. We recognize that the contemporary health issues require an
understanding of culture as integral towards eliminating health
disparities.
