Basic Concepts of Intercultural Communication

In the long-awaited second edition of Basic Concepts of Intercultural Communication , Milton J. Bennett provides a comprehensive overview of the field from a constructivist perspective. In addition to his insightful analysis, Bennett offers a full complement of classic readings on the topic of intercultural communication, including: 'Science and Linguistics,' by Benjamin Lee Whorf 'The Power of Hidden Differences,' by Edward T. Hall 'Culture: A Perceptual Approach,' by Marshall R. Singer 'Communication in a Global Village,' by Dean Barlund 'Cultural Identity: Reflections on Multiculturalism,' by Peter S. Adler

A thorough redo of the 1998 edition, Dr. Bennett does an incredible job presenting the key concepts of a complex dynamic, in the process pointing out what we may erroneously be holding onto in the work we do today. He highlights what is needed, and points the way for us to get there.
