Written to encourage a deeper understanding of and an active role in intercultural justice, Intercultural Communication: A Critical Perspective by Rona Tamiko Halualani provides students with an in-depth examination of contemporary intercultural communication through the lens of power. Through this unique perspective, the book demonstrates how micro communication acts, encounters, and relationships between and within cultural groups can influence and be influenced by macro structures, organizations, and forces – and vice versa.
