With this refreshing take on interculturality, Dervin and Jacobsson invite researchers and educators alike to abandon the ‘monotonous monotony of interculturalspeak’ and to think outside the box of established ideas and methodologies that have now become hegemonic. This is an engaging and much needed book that will inspire interculturalists to rethink and to reimagine what it means to be reflexive and critical, and to challenge Eurocentric assumptions still plaguing much intercultural research.Giuliana Ferri, Department of Education, Brunel University London, UK Beyond offering an invitation to think, this generous book advocates pluralizing our ways of working on the question of interculturality, inter-subjectively, employing the human sciences, and applying the notion to our educational practices (and vice versa). The book represents an inspiring program, structured by the two authors in an original way throughout. By weavingtogether different genres (syntheses, essays, dreams, dialogue, schematizations and even a decisive ‘brushstroke’), they invite the readers in their turn to take the risk of making their voices and their multiple languages heard differently for “interculturalizing interculturality” sustainably in the first quarter of the 21st century.  Muriel Molinié, Sorbonne University (EA 2288 DILTEC), France  This timely contribution from two leading critical scholars in intercultural communication education is an engaging appeal for the field to move beyond the hegemony of existing Western or Euro-centric normative paradigms of interculturality, giving insights into how this might be done. The book proposes a fundamentally anti-positivist, critical approach, aiming to upset existing power relations in the field   even among critical scholars   by taking into account the multiple voices still too often suppressed, from variousdisciplines and areas of life experience, in a “multipolar” or a “polycentric” fashion. Dervin and Jacobsson’s plea to depict and construct “the interculturality of interculturality” will resonate with all those who wish to decentre current ideologies in the field, to go further in understanding and seeking to confront, with intellectual humility, dissonant voices and visions from around the world.Alex Frame, University of Burgundy, France Dervin and Jacobsson shed light on the complex notion of interculturality. By bringing up how interculturality is discussed, co-constructed and advocated in different parts of the world and in different languages, they urge the readers to question their own ideologies. Beautifully framed into three tableaux and two dreams, the book is inspiring, and calls for more authentic curiosity and interdisciplinarity.Annelise Ly, Norwegian School of Economics, Norway

Proposes concepts and ideas to move further in problematizing interculturality in education Urges the reader to benefit from input from interdisciplinarity and the arts to rethink interculturality Introduces global approaches to interculturality that have been neglected in scholarship of interculturality
