Finally a text that gets it right

I have reviewed a number of intercultural communication texts and finally have found one that makes sense, is inclusive, historical, and accurate. I was particularly impressed to read an author who recognizes the offensiveness of using the word, "American" to refer only to those living in the U.S. The word could easily be applied to those in Central, South, and all those in North America. The author's writing style is engaging and commands the reader with powerful examples throughout.
