African American Communication: Ethnic Identity and Cultural Interpretation (Language and Language Behavior)

Based on a cultural studies approach, this book synthesizes research on African American culture, ethnic identity, and effective and ineffective communication patterns. African American relationships are explored, both with members of their own culture and with white Americans. The authors highlight the need for cultural sensitivity by linking the framework of ethnic identity with communication competence research. This book will be a valuable interdisciplinary resource, particularly for intercultural researchers and students of communication.
