Interracial Communication: Theory Into Practice

Finally, the Communication Studies field is addressing the important topic of interracial communication. Mark Orbe's book is an excellent introduction to this subject, particularly for undergraduate college courses. It includes a brief but comprehensive chapter on the history and construction of race as well as chapters on language, racial identities, interracial friendships, romantic relationships, interracial communication at the workplace and the impact of media. What's missing? I would like to see interracial conflicts and conflict resolution addressed in more detail. Otherwise, I highly recommend this book.
