Reviews and Endorsements
The Dictionary of Multicultural Psychology is a highly useful resource for undergraduate psychology students. The book is recommended as a classroom supplement for courses in psychology and multiculturalism, as well as for professionals and graduate students working with multicultural populations for certification.
'There appears to be a burgeoning lexicon of terms and concepts pertinent to multiculturalism. Unfortunately, this increase in the number of terms and concepts seems to be colliding with a decrease in a shared understanding of what they mean. A dictionary style volume for such terms seems an admirable and overdue quest'
- William H George, University of Washington
