Summary

Packed with thought-provoking examples, photos, vignettes, quotes, cases, and stories that spark students' interest and challenge them to reassess existing viewpoints, the Sixth Edition of An Introduction to Intercultural Communication prepares today's readers to successfully navigate our increasingly global community. Using a historical framework that places current topics in context, author Fred E. Jandt integrates media as a variable in advancing issues and ideas, offers full chapter on women, family, and children and retains his non-biased presentation of all cultures and ethnic groups.

Focus on Theory boxes ground the practical material in communication and social theory. Coverage of immigration has been expanded to reflect current developments. Domestic and global examples have been updated throughout. New and expanded Photo Essays illustrate the main concepts of the text, bringing key points to life for the reader.
