Communication Between Cultures (6TH 07 - Old Edition)by Larry A. Samovar
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CULTURES continues with the features that have made it the best-selling text for the intercultural communication course. The new edition of this leading gives students an understanding and appreciation of different cultures and helps them develop practical skills for improving their communication with people from other cultures. It's renowned for being the only text on the market to consistently emphasize religion and history as key variables in intercultural communication. Packed with the latest research and filled with numerous, compelling examples that force students to examine their own assumptions and cultural biases, this book helps students understand the subtle and profound ways culture affects communication. The book is divided into four interrelated parts: Part I introduces the study of communication and culture; Part II focuses on the ability of culture to shape and modify our view of reality; Part III puts the theory of intercultural communication into practice; and Part IV converts knowledge into action. Book News Annotation:Believing that all communication involves action, and that cultural
competence is required if any communication can take place in a
global context, the authors of this undergraduate introductory text
concentrate on communication amongst international cultures and
communication amongst domestic co-cultures in the US. They describe
the challenges of intercultural communication, the deep structure of
culture and how it causes people to view reality, differing ideas
about life and death, alternate views of reality, nonverbal
communication, becoming culturally competent, and cultural influences
on the contexts of business, education, and health care. The authors
have completely updated their material on intercultural communication
and contexts and have added new chapters on cultural identification
and the role of religion, advice on the use of language. They have
also updated information to reflect current events and trends in Asia
and the Middle East.
