This is a rich and essential collection of essays by leading scholar-educators of critical intercultural communication. Rooted in lived experiences across identities and standpoints, it incorporates powerful narrative autoethnography, performance, embodied practice, critical love, and other approaches within a variety of contexts. It addresses practical, ethical, and emotional elements of teaching, and offers deep and valuable insights for seasoned and novice critical educators who strive to decolonize our teaching through dialogue and self-reflexivity. Merging insights of intercultural communication scholarship with those of critical pedagogy, the book constitutes an important contribution to the turn toward social justice within communication studies.
