Theorizing About Intercultural Communication

Twenty-six international academics—all theorists whose theories are frequently cited in the literature on communication and culture—contribute 18 chapters covering the major theories in intercultural communication. For each theory, the author (or group of authors) explains the impetus behind its development, its scope, the underlying metatheoretical and theoretical assumptions, an historical overview of its development, its theoretical propositions, research that has been conducted to test the theory, and how the theory can be applied. For undergraduate and graduate courses in intercultural communication, communication theory, and cultural studies. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
