This new special, anniversary edition of INTERCULTURAL
COMMUNICATION: A READER, celebrates 40 years of publication. In
compiling this Fortieth Anniversary Edition, the editors reviewed
over 600 articles from the previous 13 editions and selected those
essays that educators, both in the United States and abroad, have
considered foundational to intercultural communication teaching and
research. These essays also illustrate the growth and direction of
the field since the early 1970s. This edition offers a series of
essays that enables students to gain an appreciation and
understanding of intercultural communication. Material is presented
in a context that assists students in comprehending and then
applying course concepts to their lives. These core readings also
demonstrate the historical development and philosophical evolution
of the field. As with prior editions, the Reader continues to
convey the idea that successful intercultural communication is a
matter of highest importance in this globalized, interconnected
world. The concluding chapter, "New Perspectives: Prospects for the
Future," contains five new essays by leading intercultural
communication scholars. These original works offer insight into new
directions for intercultural communication in the coming decades.
Pediatrician Carolyn Roy-Bornstein and her husband had a
comfortably empty nest after their sons had grown and flown. Soon
after, Carolyn noticed that two of her patients struggled after
their father died of cancer and their mother became too mentally
ill to care for them. As a result, they were both placed in foster
care, where one developed a severe eating disorder and the other
began self-harming. In a leap of faith, Carolyn and her husband
opened their home to these sisters and became their foster parents.
Carolyn, despite being a doctor, was unprepared for the harsh
realities of severe anorexia, depression and grueling treatment.
She had worked as a pediatrician for the Department of Children and
Families for years, but still was not equipped for the bureaucratic
struggles she would face to save her youngest foster child from a
brutal eating disorder. This book outlines the struggles of a
fledgling foster family who, despite all odds, remains devoted to
one another throughout the healing process.
