As the intercultural profession develops and matures by each passing year, the list of resources for intercultural work keeps growing.
Books, articles, journals and research on various aspects of the intercultural field are published regularly, making the intercultural literature more and more eclectic.
The Intercultural Communication Institute in Portland, Oregon offers a rather exhaustive list of resources for all those interested in furthering their knowledge of the intercultural field.
Below is a list that we have compiled that includes some of the favorite books and materials of the SIETAR Switzerland board as well as our colleagues from the intercultural field. Maybe you’ll find your favorites among the list, or perhaps you’ll discover something new for your own intercultural library.
