A veces los sucesos más importantes de nuestra vida llegan sin que nos demos cuenta. El destino nos agarra por las solapas de forma inesperada y nos lleva por caminos imprevistos. A veces el miedo hace que ya nada vuelva a ser igual. Esa calurosa tarde de verano de 2010 un par de adolescentes descansaban aburridos sobre la hierba de un parque; un perro pasó a su lado y uno de los chicos se puso en pie. Ya no había vuelta atrás. Desde ese momento sus vidas cambiaron. Lo que en principio parecía un plan sencillo para conseguir algo de dinero se convirtió en un infierno de amenazas y tensión. Todo se complicó, nada resultó tan fácil como imaginaban. El destino les arrastró y, para evitar las consecuencias que se les avecinan, emprendieron una tortuosa huída hacia delante con un resultado inimaginable.

A challenging new work of cultural and political theory rethinks the concept of hegemony.
A highly interdisciplinary overview of the wide spectrum of current international research and professional practice in intercultural communication, this is a key reference book for students, lecturers and professionals alike. Key examples of contrastive, interactive, imagological and interlingual approaches are discussed, as well as the impact of cultural, economic and socio-political power hierarchies in cultural encounters, essential for contemporary research in critical intercultural communication and postcolonial studies. The Handbook also explores the spectrum of professional applications of that research, from intercultural teaching and training to the management of culturally mixed groups, facilitating use by professionals in related fields. Theories are introduced systematically using ordinary language explanations and examples, providing an engaging approach to readers new to the field. Students and researchers in a wide variety of disciplines, from cultural studies to linguistics, will appreciate this clear yet in-depth approach to an ever-evolving contemporary field.
