In our age of globalization and mass migration (where, for example,
it is estimated that over twelve per cent of its current population
was born outside the USA), the importance of successful
communication between people of different linguistic and cultural
backgrounds has never been greater. As traditional social and
geographic boundaries have given way to increasingly complex
representations of identity, new - and urgent - questions for
psychologists, social scientists, and policymakers arise. As
research in and around intercultural communication burgeons as
never before, this new four-volume collection from Routledge's
acclaimed Critical Concepts in Psychology series meets the need for
an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing
and ever more complex corpus of literature. Edited by a leading
social psychologist, the collection is organized into four
principal themes: intercultural differences; intercultural
conflict; intercultural ideology; and intercultural integration.
Intercultural Communication provides a one-stop 'mini library' of
foundational and canonical work. The collection also includes
cutting-edge analyses and discussions of theory and research, as
well as major works addressing social intervention and policy
implications.
Is conflict caused by an inherently hostile human nature? Are
efforts to promote peaceful co-existence fated to fail? Is the
story of human history destined to play out a clash of
civilizations? These are the questions framing contemporary debate
over diversity, immigration and multiculturalism. The Social Brain
provides an entirely new psychological perspective on this debate.
It argues that diversity is critical to our very survival as a
species; that contact with different cultures was, and is, the
essential element that fuels our creativity, innovation and growth.
It asserts that diversity was the key to our intellectual evolution
and will be integral to helping us tackle the most pressing social,
political and economic concerns of our time. The Social Brain ties
the origins of the modern mind to the evolution of human society,
and provides an entirely new insight into how we can harness the
ingenuity and invention that reside within us all.
