Reviews

We have here a diverse, distinctive collection of essays concerned with the human implications and on-the-ground entanglements of life under globalization, that seemingly intractable but unavoidable phenomenon. -Crispin Thurlow, University of Bern (Switzerland) In Global Dialectics in Intercultural Communication, communication professors Jolanta A. Drzewiecka and Thomas K. Nakayama have compiled a wonderfully complex, rich, and diverse set of chapters that help to understand communication globally. Each chapter examines an interesting communication problematic, ranging from the construction of 'bad women' to the 'right' bodies of sex workers. In each, a deep awareness of cultural context, privileges, social struggle, historical and contemporary markers of difference, and geopolitical and globalizing features of culture-scapes broadly make this book a must-read in communication courses that want to explore things from a global perspective. -Kent Ono, University of Utah (USA)
