Together: Communicating Interpersonally: A Social Construction Approach
"The coverage is very good, and with the inclusion of new topics the book offers a strong representation of the topics and fields it seeks to introduce.... The conversational tone remains an advantage of the Stewart et al. book."--Steve Duck,University of Iowa"Consistent with the social constructionist perspective, this book celebrates 'multivocality.' Stewart et al. incorporate student voices, alternative voices, cultural insights, and ethical lenses--giving students the exposure to multiple voices and the opportunity to wrestle with these alternative voices, as compared to their own. This reinforces the metaphor of tensionality that the authors offer throughout the text and invites the students into a more complex relationship with the concepts and ideas presented."--Kimberly Pearce,De Anza College
