Communicating Effectively in Diverse Cultures
The overarching purpose of Communicating Effectively in Diverse Cultures is to share communication barriers we encounter daily when communicating with people who are different from us, and to engender ways of overcoming these barriers leading to understanding each other. The book discusses at length such barriers as ethnocentrism, trust, empathy, stereotyping, listening, prejudice, racism, and nonverbal aspects of communication including facial expressions, personal space, and more. The book also provides useful tips for global travelers, information that augments a sense of peace and comfort when traveling. In the end, the better we understand and communicate effectively with each other, the lesser misunderstandings and better promotion of healthier future generations that can live harmoniously together. We can communicate effectively with each other when we engage in our interaction with open minds, respect for one another, and while honoring our differences. Dr. Alex Mwakikoti is the president of Alex Consulting and Associates and a retired associate professor of sociology at Wiley College. After graduating from Michigan State University with a Ph.D. in sociology and an M.A. in communication, Mwakikoti taught at the University of Texas at Arlington and at Wiley College in Marshall, Texas.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
