Reviews

For those who love reading stories and making sense of the back story or the story behind the story, this book will provide you with the tools you need to deeply analyze, delicately deconstruct and thoroughly appreciate all your intercultural encounters. An enjoyable addition to an increasingly important body of work aimed at students keen to know what they can do to make the world a better and safer place for all. Julyn Kang, National University of Singapore Among Cultures is an excellent textbook for students to understand cultures through interpretive approaches. I'd recommend it for teaching an entry-level undergraduate intercultural communication course. Hsin-I Sydney Yueh, Northeastern State University, USA
