This Third Edition of Interracial Communication: Theory Into
Practice guides readers in applying the contributions of recent
communication theory to improving everyday communication among the
races. Authors Mark P. Orbe and Tina M. Harris offer a
comprehensive, practical foundation for dialogue on interracial
communication, as well as a resource that stimulates thinking and
encourages readers to become active participants in dialogue across
racial barriers. Part I provides a foundation for studying
interracial communication and includes chapters on the history of
race and racial categories, the importance of language, the
development of racial and cultural identities, and current and
classical theoretical approaches. Part II applies this information
to interracial communication practices in specific, everyday
contexts, including friendships, romantic relationships, the mass
media, and organizational, public, and group settings. This Third
Edition includes the latest data, new research studies and
examples, all-new photos, and important new topics.
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.
Being Mara Brock Akil: Representations of Black Womanhood on
Television examines the body of work of Mara Brock Akil, the
showrunner who produced Girlfriends, The Game, Being Mary Jane, and
Love Is__. The contributions to this volume are theoretically
anchored in Patricia Hill Collin's Black Feminist Thought, with a
focus on how Brock Akil's shows intentionally address Black
humanity and specifically provide context for Black women's lived
experiences and empathy for Black womanhood by featuring
woman-centered characters with flaws, strength, and complexity.
Shauntae Brown White and Kandace L. Harris have compiled a volume
that analyzes themes that define Black womanhood and examines
audience reception of and social media interaction with Brock
Akil's work.
Films as Rhetorical Texts: Cultivating Discussion about Race,
Racism, and Race Relations presents critical essays focusing on
select commercial films and what they can teach us about race,
racism, and race relations in America. The films in this volume are
critically assessed as rhetorical texts using various aspects and
components of critical race theory, recognizing that race and
racism are intricately ingrained in American society. Contributors
argue that by viewing and evaluating culture-centered films-often
centered around race-and critically analyzing them, faculty and
students can promote the opportunity for genuine open discussions
about race, racism, and race relations in the United States,
specifically in the higher education classroom. Scholars of film
studies, media studies, race studies, and education will find this
book particularly useful.

Women of Color Navigating Mentoring Relationships explores and
critically examines the opportunities and challenges presented in
mentoring relationships involving women of color. While all
mentoring relationships are unique to the individuals involved in
them, this book highlights the roles of race, class, and
gender-oriented constructions in the establishment, maintenance,
and dissolution of specific mentoring relationships in which women
of color are engaged. This edited collection argues that
traditional notions of mentoring fail to account for
intersectionality and power dynamics that can have profound effects
on mentoring practices, and that institutional "best practices" for
mentoring do little to address the impact of constructions of
"otherness" on the success (or failure) of mentoring relationships
involving women of color.. Recommended for scholars of
communication studies, gender studies, race studies, and for
scholars pursuing a career in academia.

Whiteness, Pedagogy, Performance is unique in bringing together
these three important topics in the context of communication
teaching and scholarship with an eye toward interdisciplinary
perspectives. In fourteen chapters, the leading whiteness scholars
in the field of communication analyze the process of teaching and
learning and the complicated intersections of whiteness, racial
identity, and cross-racial dialogue. Toward these ends, these
essays offer a variety of theoretical and practical approaches to
the analysis of identity construction, racial privilege, and
pedagogies toward equality and social justice. Above all, for
teachers, students, and anyone interested in these issues, this
book is a challenge to re-think the ways our curricula, texts,
disciplinary boundaries, and moreover, how our interactions and
performances re-inscribe racial privileges. Chapters provide
innovative and accessible analyses of teaching and learning that
will appeal to students, teachers, administrators, and anyone
interested in how race works.

In this anthology, prominent scholars in the field examine the
relationship between religion and communication. Essays discuss the
topic from various theoretical, methodological, and communication
approaches including health communication, interpersonal
communication, intercultural/interracial communication,
organizational communication, rhetoric, and media studies. The
cutting-edge research gathered here investigates religious
ideologies and the role religious beliefs play in public life
around the world. The book highlights the extent to which national
and international events continue to propel religion into our
public discourse, illuminating its critical role in how individuals
and institutions see themselves and others. The scope, depth, and
richness of the research presented here is critical, in this area
of evolving scholarship, to understanding the centrality of
religious beliefs and values to the ways we make sense of the world
and our experiences in it.
