[Ethnocomm] Textbook reviewer requests

[David Boromisza-Habashi]

Hi All,

I sincerely hope that this is an appropriate use of this email list... and that someone will let me know if it isn't.

I have recently signed a contract with Cognella to write an intro-level undergraduate intercultural communication textbook. Tentatively titled Making Culture: The Practitioner's Guide to Intercultural Interaction), the book is not an introduction to the entire subfield of ICC, rather it offers students a way to think about and study cultural communication practices for the purpose of enhancing coordinated interaction with those they treat as cultural others. The book's argument is founded on a theoretical and conceptual framework I am borrowing from the ethnography of communication, discourse analysis, and linguistic anthropology. My purpose is to generate excitement about intercultural interactions among future readers, which I will attempt by maintaining a practical focus throughout the book and by including a large number of case studies and anecdotes (including my own and my former students').

Cognella have asked me to recommend potential reviewers. They are planning to send out the proposal and the first four chapters for review next week. I have recently made the realization that most (if not all) of the folks I recommended as potential reviewers will also be subscribers of this list. Allow me to ask you: If you do receive an invitation to review my manuscript from Cognella, could you please consider accepting it? I know this a quite a lot to ask, but I hope that at least some of you will find this an interesting intellectual challenge - and/or a good way to help out a fellow ECer.

Thank you, and cheers,

David
