Description
Multicultural Psychology combines quantitative and qualitative research with anecdotal material to examine an array of multicultural issues and capture the richness of diverse cultures. The text focuses on compelling topics such as differences in world views, communication, racial and cultural identity, development, racism, and immigration. Other issues covered in the text include gender, sexuality, age, and ability. The authors provide a strong, vivid and personal voice to the text, richly populating it with anecdotes from themselves, their students, and other contributors and using them as central points around which to build their case for multicultural issues based on science.
Reviews / Votes
This textbook is a wonderful resource for any undergraduate or even graduate Multicultural Psychology course. The vignettes and quotes help students personify the concepts. Material is presented clearly and thoughtfully. Examples are updated for relevance based on current events and emerging research. I have used various editions of this book for nearly a decade and would highly recommend it."- Lauren Haack, University of San Francisco A very readable and relatable introductory text to cross cultural and multicultural psychology. I like that there are anecdotes from the authors' students that demonstrate how topics relate to students' lives as well as up-dated examples of events in the news that relate to topics we are studying."
- Callista Lee, Fullerton College A new approach to teaching cultural psychology that includes actual short stories and is very reader friendly."
- Dr. Rebecca Ewing, Western New Mexico University
