Intercultural Health Communication
«“Intercultural Health Communication adopts a critical perspective and connects health communication scholarship with intercultural communication. Rooted in lived experiences and cultural identities, the essays in this collection examine and interrogate the different aspects of health in the context of culture. Moreover, this collection employs global perspectives and is committed to social justice issues in the context of health communication. While this book fills a void in the literature and offers a much-needed outlook by connecting intercultural and health communication discourses, it also encourages a more expansive dialogue between these two areas in the field of communication. The essays in this collection employ critical, qualitative, and interpretive approaches to illuminate different areas and issues of intercultural health communication. Hence, they are bold, personal, provocative, critical, and thoughtful.” —Ahmet Atay, Associate Professor, Department of Communication, College of Wooster»

«“Spieldenner and Toyosaki’s Intercultural Health Communication is a much needed and ground-breaking resource that disrupts the whiteness of health communication through compelling and intersectional case studies that center Other bodies and experiences by bringing to bear theories and methods of intercultural communication. This book brings together senior and up-and-coming scholars to address emerging issues in intercultural health communication.” —Bernadette Marie Calafell, Professor and Chair, Critical Race and Ethnic Studies, Gonzaga University»
«“Intercultural Health Communication is perhaps the most forward-thinking book within health communication I have seen in many years! This volume offers a brilliant set of essays on identities, body politics, health, and agency, finally giving us a rich resource for understanding the complexities of marginalized bodies.” —Ronald L. Jackson II, Author of Scripting Black Masculine Bodies in Popular Media and Past President of the National Communication Association»
