One of the challenges of intercultural communication is identifying the speaking position from which one speaks to "other" cultures. With this admirably diverse series of authors, and the breadth on contexts addressed, the SAGE Handbook of Intercultural Communication advances the field in important new directions.<br />

- Terry Flew,

<p>This handbook takes a multidisciplinary and global approach to the complex field of intercultural communication, with a strong focus on different situational contexts. The seven parts of the volume deal with an impressively wide range of settings, drawing on author expertise from many different parts of the world, and with each chapter providing highly valuable conceptual background on intercultural communication issues in that context. The handbook will be extremely useful for all those who want to gain greater theoretical and methodological background to intercultural communication in different contexts and I highly recommend it for this purpose. </p>

- Helen Spencer-Oatey,

<p>Liu, Komisarof, Hua and Obijiofor have edited a comprehensive, up-to-date volume on the genealogy and contemporary trends in intercultural communication scholarship. They have assembled a stellar line-up of contributors from around the world whose chapters demonstrate the thematic richness and the analytical vibrancy of the field. The book is packed with a remarkable diversity of research topics and questions. A must-read book for scholars and students.  </p>
