Book Review: Critical Autoethnography: Intersecting Cultural Identities in Everyday Life

This review critiques Boylorn and Orbe'sCritical Autoethnography: Intersecting Cultural Identities in Everyday Life. Communication scholars' account, equal parts visual and textual exploration of diversity and identity, offers the reader a unique interpretation in which our personal selves interact with the impersonal world. Through personal narratives, the authors explore the tangled relationships between culture and communication. Using autoethnography as a method, they present how we might further explore the aspects of race, gender, socioeconomic status, nationality, age, spirituality, and health. This review will evaluate the authors' approach, as well as the effectiveness that autoethnography permits scholars to better understand the communicative relationships between identity and diversity.
