Appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate courses, Multicultural Psychology, second
edition, provides a comprehensive introduction to the field. This research-based and highly
applied text aims to increase students’ sensitivity, awareness, and knowledge of ethnicity,
race, and culture and their influence on human behavior and adjustment. A diverse and highly
respected team of authors effortlessly weaves together theory with the latest research on
ethnic and racial minority groups. Engaging boxes throughout the chapters also highlight
key concepts and findings and their practical applications.
