Description
Multicultural Psychology integrates quantitative and qualitative methods with anecdotes that present multicultural issues while capturing the richness of diverse cultures. The text focuses on compelling topics such as differences in worldviews and communication; racial/cultural identity development; issues of racism; immigration; and nonracial populations of diversity, such as gender, sexuality, age, and ability. The authors integrate issues specific to populations of diversity throughout the chapters, as opposed to covering such issues in distinct chapters.
