Politics, Communication, and Culture--the newest edition of the International and Intercultural Communication Annual--offers a variety of perspectives on politics and culture. The contributors to this volume approach politics and culture from the domains of ethics, culture studies, narrative and mythic analysis, and critical theory. What unites these studies is the assumption that preexisting cultural values and practices that are brought to and reflected in activities of the state as well as in organized activities against the state. The authors also address the intercultural nature of the political activism they describe. Part I describes ways of configuring politics, culture, and communication. Part II presents case studies that explore the cultural grounds of political activism. The final section introduces a new feature to the Annual: a forum in which scholars question, challenge, and explore a topic related to the volumeAEs theme. In this yearAEs forum, four scholars examine "Politics in Intercultural Training Programs."
