<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>By combining research and analysis from the fields of American history and intercultural communication, <em>Unlocking the Master Narrative: History and Intercultural Communication</em> helps students examine why we communicate the way in which we do, taking into account history, culture, worldviews, and the myriad ways in which we share information. <br /> <br /> The book examines numerous co-cultures within the United States--including those of indigenous peoples, African Americans, Caucasians, Mexican Americans, and Chinese Americans--with special emphasis on the historic perspective of each group's experiences and struggles. The examination deepens as students learn how the role of communication within these groups evolved as a result of those experiences and struggles, and how communication styles and patterns continue to influence and shape these cultural groups today. <br /> <br /> Unique in approach and cross-disciplinary in nature, <em>Unlocking the Master Narrative</em> provides students with a revolutionary lens that helps them understand each other more deeply and distinctively. The book is well-suited for courses in American history, intercultural communication, ethnic and cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology.</p><p><strong>Scott M.
