Recenzje

From reviews of the first edition:

'This volume …fills gaps between national demarcations and serves as a bridge for educators, policymakers, and others interested in and/or working in the field... Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals.'

K. Liu, CUNY in CHOICE

'This stimulating volume dwells in the realm of the "inter," engaging the complexity of the interdisciplinary perspective and the interrelated theories and models that inform our intercultural work,… offering expertise, insight, and resources for teaching and learning language and culture.'

Janet M. Bennett, Executive Director, Intercultural Communication Institute, USA

'Jane Jackson has managed to assemble a multidisciplinary volume of amazing breadth. In a field as fragmented and contested as Intercultural Communication, the diversity and polyphony of research traditions, approaches and contexts brought together in this handbook is an impressive achievement.'

Ingrid Piller, Macquarie University, Australia
