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.
As our society becomes increasingly diverse, racial, ethnic, and
gender inclusiveness and equality have taken on new life in the
United States. The Fourth Edition of Racism, Sexism, and the Media
examines how different race, ethnic, and gender groups fit into the
fabric of America; how the media influence and shape everyone's
perception of how they fit; and how the media and advertisers are
continuously adapting their communications to effectively reach
these groups. The authors explore how the rise of
class/group-focused communication, resulting from the convergence
of new media technologies and continued demographic segmentation of
audiences, has led media outlets and advertisers to see women and
people of color as influential key audiences and target markets, as
well as a source of stereotypes, which may lead to media
insensitivity and may help perpetuate social inequity. The Fourth
Edition includes updated content on topics covered in the previous
editions, such as film, television, radio, print media,
advertising, and public relations. It also incorporates new
material on: women of color, including an integrated assessment of
their media experiences; new material on Muslim, Arab, and Asian
groups; new technologies; and social media use and their impact.
Presented in a logical, easy-to-follow format, this text offers
readers an enhanced and expanded understanding of how women and
minorities in the United States shape and are shaped by today's
media environment.
