Book Overview

Multicultural Psychology: Understanding our Diverse Communities, Fourth Edition, combines quantitative and qualitative research with anecdotal material to examine multicultural issues and capture the richness of diverse cultures. The text is organized by topics in multicultural psychology rather than by ethnic groups, smoothly integrating important findings across ethnic groups as relevant. The text uses first-person narrative accounts from people of all ages and cultures in order to illustrate compelling topics such as communication, racial and cultural identity, development, racism, differences in worldviews, and immigration. Other issues covered in the text include gender, sexuality, age, and ability.

Multicultural Psychology

Pleasant and easy reading. It's quite fast-paced, because of it's extensive subject coverage, and the fact that it's such a small book. A wonderful read, but needs some background knowledge of psychology.

Mind Opener!

This Multicultural Psychology book really gets you thinking about our society and racism. This book may take you to a pre-encounter stage as far as the way you view others. This book may have you wondering and watching people(ie; Doctors, European Americans, etc.) and the way they act around or toward you. I think this book is a really good book and may have you preceive others differently. If you don't know what goes on in our world you will surely find out!
