A much-needed text that takes stock of issues of ethnicity and race
in communication studies, this book presents an overview of the
most cutting-edge research, theory, and methods in the subject and
advocates for centering ethnicity and race in the communication
studies discipline. This handbook brings together a diverse group
of both senior and up-and-coming scholars to offer original
scholarship in race and ethnicity in communication studies,
emphasizing various analytical perspectives including, but not
limited to, global, transnational, diasporic, feminist, queer,
trans, and disability approaches. While centering ethnicity and
race, contributors also take an intersectional perspective in their
approach to their topics and chapters. The book features
examination of specific subfields like whiteness studies,
Latina/o/x communication studies, Asian/Pacific American
communication studies, African American communication and culture,
and Middle East and North African communication studies. The text
is oriented to graduate students and researchers within
communication studies as well as media studies, cultural studies,
critical race and ethnic studies, American studies, sociology, and
education, while still being accessible to upper-level
undergraduate students.
De-Whitening Intersectionality: Race, Intercultural Communication,
and Politics re-evaluates how the logic of color-blindness as
whiteness is at play in the current scope of intersectional
research on race, intercultural communication, and politics.
Calling for a re-centering of difference by exploring the emergence
and inception of intersectionality concepts, the coeditors and
contributors distinguish between the uses of intersectionality that
seem inclusive versus those that actually enact inclusion by
demonstrating how to re-conceptualize intersectionality in ways
that explicate, elucidate, and elaborate culture-specific and
text-specific nuances of knowledge for women of color,
queer/trans-people of color, and non-western people of color who
have been marked as the Others. As a feminist of color tradition,
intersectionality has been appropriated through increasing
popularity in the discipline of communication, undermining efforts
to critique power when researchers reduce the concept to a
checklist of identity markers. This book underscores that in order
to play well with and illustrate a nuanced understanding of
intersectionality; scholars must be attentive to its origins and
implications.

This Bridge We Call Communication: Anzalduan Approaches to Theory,
Method, and Praxis explores contemporary communication research
studies, performative writing, poetry, Latina/o studies, and gender
studies through the lens of Gloria Anzaldua's theories, methods,
and concepts. Utilizing different methodologies and
approaches-testimonio, performative writing, and interpretive,
rhetorical, and critical methodologies-the contributors provide
original research on contexts including healing and pain,
woundedness, identity, Chicana and black feminisms, and experiences
in academia.
Critical Intercultural Communication Pedagogy constructs a
theoretical frame through which critical intercultural
communication pedagogy can be dreamed, envisioned, and realized as
praxis. Its chapters provide answers to questions surrounding the
relationship of intercultural communication pedagogy to critical
race theory, queer theory, critical ethnography, and narrative
methodology, among others. Utilizing a diverse array of theoretical
and methodological approaches within critical intercultural
communication research, this collection is creatively engaging,
theoretically innovating, and pedagogically encouraging.
This collection, edited by Daniel S. Strasser, was unearthed from
the demand for more inclusive and expansive dialogues on
intersectional identities, ethnicity, neuro-diversity, physical
ability, religion, sexual orientation, class, and gender
performance in academia. The autoethnographic and narrative
accounts within Communication and Identity in the Classroom:
Intersectional Perspectives of Critical Pedagogy offer personal,
experiential perspectives on the power of identity to influence
educators in classroom and mentoring spaces. The multiple
perspectives offered here promote dialogue about how personal
experience provides the ground upon which we build more dynamic
relationships and communities. The contributors' experiences offer
examples for a more expansive understanding of privilege,
oppression, and identity. These seeds for conversation nourish
discourses that build new communicative bridges between educators
and students as we prepare to face the next interaction, class, and
challenges and opportunity for resilience. This collection invites
educators to be critical of their bodies, of their politics, of
their intersecting identities, and acknowledge in words and actions
that our bodies are political. Throughout this collection the
contributors expand upon theories and methods of critical
communication scholarship, radical love, and intersectionality
using their embodied pedagogical experiences to ground the
scholarship.

Women of Color Navigating Mentoring Relationships explores and
critically examines the opportunities and challenges presented in
mentoring relationships involving women of color. While all
mentoring relationships are unique to the individuals involved in
them, this book highlights the roles of race, class, and
gender-oriented constructions in the establishment, maintenance,
and dissolution of specific mentoring relationships in which women
of color are engaged. This edited collection argues that
traditional notions of mentoring fail to account for
intersectionality and power dynamics that can have profound effects
on mentoring practices, and that institutional "best practices" for
mentoring do little to address the impact of constructions of
"otherness" on the success (or failure) of mentoring relationships
involving women of color.. Recommended for scholars of
communication studies, gender studies, race studies, and for
scholars pursuing a career in academia.
In a society that increasingly touts post-racial and post-feminist
discourses, the trope of monstrosity becomes a way to critically
examine contemporary meanings around race, class, gender,
sexuality, and ability. Focusing on ways in which historically
marginalized groups appropriate monstrosity as a means of
resistance, as well as on how we can understand oppression and
privilege through monstrosity, this book offers another way to
conceptualize the politics of representation. Through critical
analyses of experiences of women of color in the academy, the media
framing of alleged Aurora shooter James Holmes, the use of
monstrosity in unpublished work from the Gloria Anzaldua archives,
post-feminist discourses in American Mary and The Lords of Salem,
and Kanye West's strategic employment of ideologies of monstrosity,
this book offers new ways to think about Otherness in this
contemporary moment.
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.
