This book challenges the silence surrounding money, revealing its profound influences on personal and social identities and power dynamics in intercultural contexts.

In this inimitable book, Fred Dervin continues to explore the notion of interculturality by offering a novel and critical exploration of the often-overlooked role of money, especially within the broad field of Intercultural Communication Education and Research (ICER). Adopting a robust interdisciplinary lens and drawing on concrete examples, the author combines, for example, financial education, literature, philosophy and sociology to critique the economic and moral dimensions of global interactions in today's confused and confusing world. From examining the commodification of intercultural relations to proposing shared responsibility and ethical reasoning, Money and Interculturality: A Theory provides a fresh perspective on how money shapes and often distorts interculturality. Based on a unique integration of contemporary, historical and literary insights, Dervin questions and deepens our understanding of interculturality while equipping readers with new vocabulary and frameworks to address the harsh realities of global, unpredictable and power-laden communication.

This somewhat provocative book represents an essential reference for educators, practitioners, researchers and students seeking to investigate the connections between money and interculturality.
