Recenzii

“I am most enthusiastic about this book. I designed the course and was thrilled to see that I finally found a good PSYCHOLOGY book with these incredible authors who are so well-respected in their field.”

"The authors have provided a solid resource to the growing database on multicultural psychology. There are two outstanding features of the text that are worth mentioning. First, at the outset of every chapter (except the final chapter), the authors provide a vignette that illustrates practical applications of chapter material. The second major contribution of this book is the “Learning by Doing” exercises . . . These activities—or “mini-studies” as the authors describe them—will assist the reader in learning the information experientially and affectively, in addition to processing the information on an intellectual level."
