Boundary Spanners of Humanity

Boundary Spanners of Humanity introduces an expansive pan-human, evolutionary perspective of communication and public diplomacy that can enhance global collaboration. R.S. Zaharna reveals how contemporary communication models are based on a nineteenth-century mindset of separateness that divided people into mutually exclusive cultural and national categories. That mindset reinforces human divisions and undermines our current efforts for global collaboration. In a radical break from conventional thinking, Zaharna draws upon multiple disciplines - from ancient cosmologies to neurobiology - to introduce three communication logics that can leverage human diversity and revolutionize how we collaborate globally.
