| Summary: | "The social scientific study of communication has hitherto largely focused on communication between individuals. This book concentrates on the important and interesting topic of how membership of a group -racial, ethnic, social or sexual, for example - affects communication with members of another group. It integrates research and theory on intergroup behaviour with research and theory on communication, drawing on the findings of both European and North American scholars, which have in the past developed separately. The chapters are arranged to begin with the most general treatments and to end with the most specific, with an introductory chapter outlining the field, and a final chapter integrating the contents of the book. In addition to presenting an original contribution, each chapter presents a concise and up-to-date survey of research and theory."--Back cover. |
