Multicultural Psychology

Melissa Heerboth, Mercyhurst University Multicultural Psychology is accessible and personal. The personal experiences placed throughout the chapters really bring the chapter content to life. This book supports a learning experience that emphasizes the phenomenological experience of multicultural individuals, not just theory and findings.

Helen Taylor, Bellevue College
This is an excellent text for a multi-cultural or cross-cultural psychology class; it is also appropriate for ethnic studies, counseling psychology courses, and interdisciplinary courses on race and identity. Students of color, women students, gay students, and immigrant students will find themselves in these pages and feel included and respected, and white students and male students will benefit from having their consciousness raised.

Allyson Graf, Elmira College

An innovative multicultural text that will engage students in thought about their own cultural identities, strengths, weaknesses, and how it affects their everyday experiences.
