Opis

Heightened interest in multicultural issues in psychology and an understanding of culture as a critical aspect of human behaviour has moved the topic of multiculturalism into the forefront of research and to required coursework in the helping professions. However, this is not without the backlash of resistance. This text examines the subtle forms of racism and resistance to the multicultural movement in psychology and society. The authors use their vast experience in the arena of multiculturalism, both from the perspective of teaching and administration, to detail accounts, experiences and challenges of resistance.

Recenzje

"[T]his book is an essential missing link in the psychological literature which needs to be addressed. The examples and transcripts from student and colleague comments are excellent. The authors carefully constructed a foundation from the existing literature and built an excellent book upon it." -- Paul Pedersen, Ph.D., University of Alabama, Birmingham
