This book highlights inconsistencies within the field of sports
scholarship and provides an opportunity to open up and extend
conversations about the intersection of sports media and race -
particularly surrounding athletes of East Asian descent. Despite
the growing influence of East Asian and Asian American/Canadian
athletes, they are still underrepresented in Western media and in
scholarship. This anthology adds much-needed literature to sports,
popular culture, East Asian, and Asian American studies. The
prominence of sports in global popular culture makes the
intersections explored in this collection a crucial addition to
existing conversations about both sports and East Asian/Asian
American/Canadian studies.
A host of digital affordances, including reduced cost production
tools, open distribution platforms, and ubiquitous connectivity,
have engendered the growth of indie games among makers and users,
forcing critics to reconsider the question of who makes games and
why. Taking seriously this new mode of cultural produciton compells
analysts to reconsider the blurred boundaries and relations of
makers, users and texts as well as their respective relationship to
cultural power and hierarchy. The contributions to Indie Games in
the Digital Age consider these questions and examine a series of
firms, makers, games and scenes, ranging from giants like Nintendo
and Microsoft to grassroots games like Cards Against Humanity and
Stardew Valley, to chart more precisely the productive and
instructive disruption that this new site of cultural production
offers.

Communicating Across Differences: Negotiating Identity, Privilege,
and Marginalization in the 21st Century presents research and
scholarship from a broad range of contributing authors who
represent the voices and perspectives of traditionally marginalized
and uniquely underrepresented groups. The anthology explores the
intersectionality of intercultural communication and cultural
studies, blending social science approaches with critical
perspectives. Each chapter examines how marginality and privilege
pertain to issues surrounding race, gender, sexuality, class,
dis/ability, language, inter/nationality, and instruction that are
negotiated through the process of communication and media messaging
while being framed in hegemonic cultural dynamics. Readers gain
insight into the breadth and depth of the intergroup identities
that impact our ability to communicate effectively across
differences today. Dedicated chapters examine cross-racial
communication, racial representation and grouping in news coverage,
cultural influences and variations in language usage, power
dynamics surrounding disability discourse, instructor immediacy
behaviors from the perspective of international students, and more.
Designed to help us better understand and respect the cultural,
social, and political implications that surround power, privilege,
marginalization, and oppression, Communicating Across Differences
is a timely and essential resource for courses focusing on
diversity, multiculturalism, cultural studies, and intercultural
communication.
