African American Communication

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.Hecht, Michael L. is the author of 'African American Communication' with ISBN 9780803945166 and ISBN 0803945167.
