"The goal of this book is to call for a transnational turn within critical intercultural communication and generate a discussion to facilitate this turn. Here, we argue that IC and critical intercultural communication did not fully experience a transnational turn. Although topics of inquiry might have been international and the researchers themselves might have been international scholars, their visibility and their voice remained limited in CIC. Moreover, researching international topics and writing about cultural identity formations do not equate to transnationalizing intercultural communication. Often, this scholarship perpetuates the hegemonic and U.S-centric ways of doing scholarship, and by default doing intercultural communication research. We call for a transnational turn within critical intercultural communication. We envision this turn to be intersectional, and it should reconsider the ideas of nation-state, nationality, and citizenship. The transnational turn will include non-U.S. perspectives and topics. This approach also uses theoretical frameworks that are developed by non-U.S-scholars and transnational scholars within the U.S academia. We recognize that even critical intercultural communication has citationality politics. We see this as a serious concern. Often the works of transnational scholars are not cited by the CIC scholars. To achieve transnational inclusivity with CIC, we advocate for the use of critical and cultural multi-methods or fusion of them or incorporation of new hybrid methodologies to answer complex, multidimensional, intersectional, and transnational issues and represent those lives and stories. Finally, we argue that the transnational turn is inter/transdisciplinary, and must borrow from Latinx studies, Black studies, feminist studies, ethnic studies, queer studies, humanities disciplines, art, and other areas"--

This book introduces the concept of transnational critical communication pedagogy by interweaving critical communication pedagogy and critical intercultural communication methods. Contributors emphasize the importance of the role of geopolitics and postcolonial and global turns in power, articulation, voice, and oppression.
