Globalization sets a scene where societies perceive an increase of intercultural contact on all levels, although, as this book may show, intercultural communication research today looks back to an impressive tradition. Research and practice in intercultural communication have become increasingly important and dynamic worldwide in recent decades, starting
in the United States.

This anthology offers an innovative and original approach to the study of interculturality: it focuses on academics of major importance to the field, ‘interculturalists’ who have developed key theories, models, and concepts and thus have had a significant impact on the field. Connections are made between interculturalists and particular topics, theories, academic disciplines, and ‘schools’. It also shows how these conceptual frameworks can be used to better understand ‘intercultural reality’.
