The new Southern African edition of this popular introductory
textbook offers students a practical and accessible framework for
developing their intercultural communication skills. It provides a
global perspective on intercultural communication while allowing
students to contextualize their knowledge with relevant examples,
applications and perspectives. Recognizing that students in
Southern Africa come from diverse cultural, ethnic and linguistic
backgrounds, Experiencing Intercultural Communication provides
discussion of issues and perspectives they can apply to everyday
life and to broader contexts. For instance, the book looks at the
challenges posed by numerous native languages in schools and
healthcare settings; it explores the opportunities for and barriers
to building intercultural relationships in post-Apartheid South
Africa; and it considers the impact of globalization and the
communication of Western paradigms of modernization and
development.
The field of communication offers the study of whiteness a focus on
discourse which directs its attention to the everyday experiences
of whiteness through regimes of truth, embodied acts, and the
deconstruction of mediated texts. This book takes an intersectional
approach to whiteness studies, researching whiteness through
rhetorical analysis, qualitative research, performance studies, and
interpretive research. More specifically the chapters deconstruct
the communicative power of whiteness in the context of the United
States, but with discussion of the implications of this power
internationally, by taking on relevant and current topics such as
terrorism, post-colonial challenges, white fragility at the
national level, the emergence of colorblind discourse as a
pro-white discursive strategy, the relationship of people of color
with and through whiteness, as well as multifaceted identities that
intersect with whiteness, including religion, masculinity and
femininity, social class, ability, and sexuality.
Whiteness is a collection of outstanding essays that employs a range of approaches to understanding whiteness a communication phenomenon. Contributors use analyses of media representations, social scientific data, poststructuralist theoretical discussions, and post-colonial critiques of whiteness. Included as well are discussions of some of the ways whiteness is enacted through commemorations, white antiracist rhetoric, pedagogy, and personal narratives that highlight the cultural politics of whiteness. Thomas K. Nakayama and Judith N. Martin conclude with specific claims out white identity and about the ways multi-methodological approaches to communication offer new insights into research. Both timely and intriguing, this collection of articles will further our understanding of intercultural communication.
