About this book

Intercultural Communication in Context 7th edition by Judith N. Martin and Thomas K. Nakayama examines how culture shapes communication across personal, social, professional, and global settings. The book connects communication theory with identity, power, language, history, and social context so students can understand why people from different cultural backgrounds may interpret messages, relationships, and behavior differently.

The 7th edition covers cultural identity, language, nonverbal communication, cultural values, intercultural relationships, conflict, migration, adaptation, globalization, media, popular culture, and communication across racial, ethnic, national, gender, and social differences. It also examines the influence of history, privilege, power, and social institutions on intercultural encounters, helping students analyze communication beyond simple cultural stereotypes.

This book is especially useful for Communication Studies Students, Intercultural Communication Students, Sociology Students, Anthropology Students, International Studies Students, Psychology Students, Business Students, Education Students, and students preparing for careers that involve multicultural teams, global communication, or diverse communities. It is particularly relevant for coursework involving identity, conflict, cultural adaptation, global media, and cross cultural interaction.
