Intercultural Alternatives: Critical Perspectives on Intercultural Encounters in Theory and PracticeMaribel Blasco, Jan Gustafsson "This book offers a selection of alternative approaches to the question of interculturality written from a range of theoretical perspectives including hermeneutics, phenomenology, semiotics, dialogic philosophy and social constructivism. It is intended as a source of critical ways of thinking and theorising about interculturality rather than as a 'quick fix' guide to getting around problems that can arise in intercultural encounters.
