Review Quotes: "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
