Book excerpt: A supplement to the core text, Communicating with Strangers, also published by McGraw-Hill in 1992, this reader can be used in sociology, anthropology, and business courses that stress intercultural considerations. Mirroring the organization and thrust of the core text, the reader is built around the tenet that we each apply certain preconceptions to people who we meet for the first time, that is, to strangers, often drawing from cultural stereotypes when meeting someone from a background different from our own.
