Editorial Reviews

Review

'Without doubt the book teaches the reader to be more attentive and
critical towards essentialism, and this is the great achievement of this
book.'
- The Linguist List

'It will be welcomed by teachers looking for resources with which to approach culture and communication from a non-essentialised position, and by students of linguistics, communication and intercultural communication who need a source of inspiration, ideas and clear principles with which to engage with intercultural research and study.' - BaaL News

'This book is a useful reminder that culture is constructed, perpetuated and changed through small acts of communication in everyday life. It offers a clear, practical methodology for escaping the essentialization of people, behaviors and events ... Most enjoyable are the illustrative anecdotes of intercultural (mis)communication presented for analysis and interpretation.'Claire Kramsch, University of California, Berkeley, USA
