Critical Autoethnography: Intersecting Cultural Identities in
Everyday Life, Second Edition, examines the development of the
field of critical autoethnography through the lens of social
identity. Contributors situate interpersonal and intercultural
experiences of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, citizenship,
sexuality, and spirituality within larger systems of power,
oppression, and privilege. Approachable and accessible narratives
highlight intersectional experiences of marginalization and
interrogate social injustices. The book is divided into three
sections: Complexities of Identity Performance, Relationships in
Diverse Contexts, and Pathways to Culturally Authentic Selves. Each
thematic section includes provocative stories that critically
engage personal and cultural narratives through a lens of
difference. The chapters in the book highlight both unique and
ubiquitous, extraordinary and common experiences in the interior
lives of people who are Othered because of at least two overlapping
identities. The contributors offer first person accounts to suggest
critical responses and alternatives to injustice. The book also
includes sectional summaries and discussion questions to facilitate
dialogue and self-reflection. It is an excellent resource for
undergraduate students, graduate students, educators, and scholars
who are interested in autoethnography, interpersonal and
intercultural communication, qualitative studies, personal
narrative, cultural studies, and performance studies.

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.

This book seeks to go beyond existing public polls regarding Barack
Obama, and instead offers a comprehensive treatment of public
perceptions that resist mass generalizations based on race, gender,
age, political affiliation, or geographical location. Drawing from
a large national qualitative data set generated by 333 diverse
participants from twelve different states across six U.S. regions,
Mark P. Orbe offers a comprehensive look into public perceptions of
Barack Obama's communication style, race matters, and the role of
the media in 21st century politics. Communication Realities in a
"Post-Racial" Society: What the U.S. Public Really Thinks about
Barack Obama is the first of its kind in that it uses the voices of
everyday U.S. Americans to advance our understanding of how
identity politics influence public perceptions. The strength of a
book such as this one lies within the power of the diverse
perspectives of hundreds of participants. Each chapter features
extended comments from rural volunteer fire fighters in southern
Ohio, African American men in Oakland, CA, religious communities in
Alabama; New England senior citizens; military families from
southern Virginia; Tea Party members from Nebraska; business and
community leaders from North Carolina; individuals currently
unemployed and/or underemployed in Connecticut; college students
from predominately White, Black, and Hispanic-serving institutions
of higher learning; and others. As such, it is the first book that
is based on comments from multiple perspectives - something that
allows a deeper understanding that hasn't been possible with public
polls, media sound bites, and political commentary. It is a must
read for scholars interested in contemporary communication in a
time when "post-racial" declarations are met with resistance and
political junkies who seek an advanced understanding of the
peculiarities of rapidly changing political realities.
How do people traditionally situated on the margins of
societyupeople of color, women, gays/lesbians/bisexuals, and those
from a lower socio-economic statusucommunicate within the dominant
societal structures? Constructing Co-Cultural Theory presents a
phenomenological framework for understanding the intricate
relationship between culture, power, and communication. Grounded in
muted group and standpoint theory, this volume presents a
theoretical framework that fosters a critically insightful vantage
point into the complexities of culture, power, and communication.
The volume comprises six chapters; key coverage includes: a review
of critique of the literature on co-cultural communication;
description of how the perspective of co-cultural group members
were involved in each stage of theory development; an explication
of 25 co-cultural communication strategies, and a model of six
factors that influence strategy selection. The final chapter
examines how co-cultural theory correlates with other work in
communication generally and in intercultural communication
specifically. Author Mark P. Orbe considers inherent limitations of
his framework and the implication for future research in this area.
Scholars and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students will
find that this volume covers an important topic which will be of
interest to those in the fields of communication, cultural studies,
and race and ethnic studies.

English for the first time, this meticulously detailed account of
the Nazi ‘Deep State’ by one of its leading counterintelligence
chiefs reveals the deepest secrets, and names foreign Gestapo
agents whose identities have never before been public knowledge.
Heinrich Pfeifer, the ‘man of a thousand names’, was one of the
strangest spy chiefs of the Nazi SD (Security Police of the SS and
Gestapo). He reported directly to Himmler’s chief deputy,
Reinhard Heydrich. He accomplished many daring and incredible
missions in various countries. Heydrich insisted that Pfeifer work
under a pseudonym even in his own office. And he had at least
twenty aliases, including ‘Heinrich Orb’, the name he used for
this book. Pfeifer joined the Nazi spy service as a German
nationalist and Catholic before Himmler and Heydrich had moved to
Berlin. He later became disgusted by the anti-Semitism, the
concentration camps, the murders and corruption, and what he called
the ‘satanic’ character of Heydrich. He defected in September
1939 and lived in fear of his life until his assassination in 1949.
Before his death, Pfeifer left this priceless record of the
mechanism of evil of the Nazi Deep State, its methods, its
procedures, and its zoo of crazed personnel, all of whom he knew
intimately as his own working colleagues. He reveals their
peculiarities and personal characteristics, and even their private
nicknames for each other. Pfeifer’s account was not illustrated
and Eglantyne has added more than 250 photos, many of them never
before seen, presented with extended commentary.
