This book explores the communication challenges faced by parents as
they raise children who are bi-cultural, multi-cultural, or are
adopted from a heritage other than the parents. Each contributor
views the family as a site of intercultural dialogue and mediation,
and uses compelling studies throughout to examine the parents who
creatively balance cultural influences within their families. Using
television depictions of parents on Modern Family and All-American
Muslim to the everyday activities of mixed-ethnicity and
international families, Mediating Cultures reports the
communication strategies employed by the parents as they strive to
create affirming relationships between children and their
heritages. This collection brings together two largely separate
literatures of family communication and intercultural communication
studies with accessible yet context-driven studies to explain how
families integrate multiple cultural heritages and perspectives.
