In this groundbreaking edited collection, Eguchi and Calafell present the field guide to queer intercultural communication. They show how intercultural communication scholarship and teaching benefits from a transnational queer lens that engages dialogically with the politics of difference. In essays that highlight intersectionality, belonging, and differences, contributors consider how culture, identity, and power are important in everyday communication across the globe. Not only does this collection offer readers a framework for considering how relationally and space influence intercultural relationships, but importantly, readers see how queer intercultural communication as praxis promises to promote social justice.

The field of intercultural communication in U.S. academia has long struggled to disrupt the normative needs that necessitate its inquiry in the first place. This edited collection powerfully illuminates how and why (trans) queer (of color) critiques matter for the studies of intercultural communication. More importantly, this volume offers exciting conceptual lens to keep revising and reimagining the future of queer intercultural communication.
— Yea-Wen Chen, Associate Professor, School of Communication at San Diego State University
Queer Intercultural Communication is destined to become a key text for Communication scholars. This ambitious book brings together a range of queer critical research, focused predominantly on international and intersectional identities. It not only challenges normative ideas about sexuality and communication but also demonstrates the generative possibilities of queering the methods and approaches of the entire field of Intercultural Communication.
— Professor LeiLani Nishime, Professor, Department of Communication at University of Washington
Queer Intercultural Communication is a gathering of some of the most important and fresh voices in the field of communication studies! This volume makes a necessary intervention to not only include queer theory and queer studies, but to resist the idea of intercultural communication per usual.
