Recenzje

"All in all, this book is full of information and easy to read. A key reference for those interested in the subject matter."
—CHOICE

"Having read this book from cover to cover I found that one of its advantages is that you can start anywhere and get meaty information on the topic of your choice. Excellent writing and fine editing by Frederick Leong have produced a book that is easy to read and packed full of information. I enjoyed reading it. I learned from it. I invite you to learn from it too."
—John D. Krumboltz
Professor of Education, Stanford University, from the Foreword

"Finally we have a comprehensive, yet concise, book on the career development of racial and ethnic minority groups. The book's first part points out gaps in our knowledge and questions the applicability of current vocational theory. The book's second part goes beyond raising questions about the efficacy for minorities of mainstream methods and procedures, and offers interesting modifications and innovations. Anyone with an interest in career development and cultural diversity will find many things in this book worthy of one's time and attention."
—Rene V. Dawis, Ph.D.
Professor of Psychology, University of Minnesota

"This text is without question one of the most important contributions to the vocational counseling literature in the last decade. This volume is essential reading for students and professionals, as well as researchers and practitioners. Those of us who work in the career development field enthusiastically salute its arrival."
—Thomas Parham, Ph.D.
Director, Career Planning and Placement Center, University of California, Irvine

"Leong has assembled an outstanding group of contributors that remind us, through this book, that career development of minority groups can only be understood through their social, cultural, political, and contextual experiences. This text is destined to become a standard resource in graduate programs of counseling, education and psychology."
—Derald Wing Sue, Ph.D.
Professor of Psychology, California School of Professional Psychology, Berkeley/
