A much-needed text that takes stock of issues of ethnicity and race in communication studies, this book presents an overview of the most cutting-edge research, theory, and methods in the subject and advocates for centering ethnicity and race in the communication studies discipline.

This handbook brings together a diverse group of both senior and up-and-coming scholars to offer original scholarship in race and ethnicity in communication studies, emphasizing various analytical perspectives including, but not limited to, global, transnational, diasporic, feminist, queer, trans, and disability approaches. While centering ethnicity and race, contributors also take an intersectional perspective in their approach to their topics and chapters. The book features examination of specific subfields, like Whiteness studies, Latina/o/x communication studies, Asian/Pacific American communication studies, African American communication and culture, and Middle East and North African communication studies.

The text is oriented to graduate students and researchers within communication studies as well as media studies, cultural studies, critical race and ethnic studies, American studies, sociology, and education, while still being accessible to upper-level undergraduate students.

This book explores the intersections between communication and transnationalism from interdisciplinary and multimethodological perspectives.

Transnationalism is a contested space where differences among people, knowledge, materials, trades, and capitals are configured within and beyond national borders. Recognizing that transnationalism remains a key driver of major social, cultural, political, and economic developments globally, this handbook assesses the current dynamics of power flows. Featuring the work of an international team of scholars, the handbook includes a wide range of critical communication and media perspectives, including but not limited to diaspora, queer/trans, intersectional, postcolonial, and decolonial approaches to transnationalism. It is divided into five thematic parts addressing key issues and concerns:

This handbook questions ongoing histories of imperialism and underscores the need to complicate communication theories of transnationalism from multidimensional perspectives. It is an indispensable resource for scholars and students in the fields of communication studies, transnational studies, critical cultural studies, intercultural communication, sociology, and international relations.

Japan is heterogeneous and culturally diverse, both historically through ancient waves of immigration and in recent years due to its foreign relations and internationalization. However, Japan has socially, culturally, politically, and intellectually constructed a distinct and homogeneous identity. More recently, this identity construction has been rightfully questioned and challenged by Japan’s culturally diverse groups.

This book explores the discursive systems of cultural identities that regenerate the illusion of Japan as a homogeneous nation. Contributors from a variety of disciplines and methodological approaches investigate the ways in which Japan’s homogenizing discourses are challenged and modified by counter-homogeneous message systems. They examine the discursive push-and-pull between homogenizing and heterogenizing vectors, found in domestic and transnational contexts and mobilized by various identity politics, such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity, foreign status, nationality, multiculturalism, and internationalization. After offering a careful and critical analysis, the book calls for a complicating of Japan’s homogenizing discourses in nuanced and contextual ways, with an explicit goal of working towards a culturally diverse Japan.

Taking a critical intercultural communication perspective, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Japanese Studies, Japanese Culture and Japanese Society.
