Encyclopedia of Multicultural Psychology

During the past 30 years, the study of racial and ethnic minority issues in psychology has evolved to what can be considered a significant and rapidly growing subfield within American psychology. This volume will present a thorough overview of the psychology of racial, ethnic, and minority issues in the United States. It will cover the breadth of psychology viewed through the lens of the racial and ethnic minority experience. Coverage will include contributions from all major areas, including social, developmental, methodological, clinical, industrial/organizational, and health, educational, school, and family psychology. Entries will cover topics as diverse as academic achievement, acculturation, affirmative action, community interventions, education, health, immigrants, prejudice, racial identity development, social ecology, stereotyping, teaching multiculturalism, tokenism, values, violence, worldviews, and more.
