The concept of identity has steadily emerged in importance in the
field of intercultural communication, especially over the last two
decades. In a transnational world marked by complex connectivity as
well as enduring differences and power inequities, it is imperative
to understand and continuously theorize how we perceive the self in
relation to the cultural other. Such understandings play a central
role in how we negotiate relationships, build alliances, promote
peace, and strive for social justice across cultural differences in
various contexts. Identity Research in Intercultural Communication,
edited by Nilanjana Bardhan and Mark P. Orbe, is unique in scope
because it brings together a vast range of positions on identity
scholarship under one umbrella. It tracks the state of identity
research in the field and includes cutting-edge theoretical essays
(some supported by empirical data), and queries what kinds of
theoretical, methodological, praxiological and pedagogical
boundaries researchers should be pushing in the future. This
collection s primary and qualitative focus is on more recent
concepts related to identity that have emerged in scholarship such
as power, privilege, intersectionality, critical selfhood,
hybridity, diaspora, cosmopolitanism, queer theory, globalization
and transnationalism, immigration, gendered and sexual politics,
self-reflexivity, positionality, agency, ethics, dialogue and
dialectics, and more. The essays are critical/interpretive,
postmodern, postcolonial and performative in perspective, and they
strike a balance between U.S. and transnational views on identity.
This volume is an essential text for scholars, educators, students,
and intercultural consultants and trainers."
