Reviews

Multicultural Psychology is a must read for anyone interested in culture, ethnicity, race, gender, and sexual orientation; as well as the intersection of these human variables. Grounded in a balance of psychological theory and research, Gordon C. Nagayama Hall expertly applies these concepts to People of Color. The book's fourth edition actualizes multicultural psychological topics such as multiracial individuals, Americans of Middle Eastern and North African heritage, research on Covid-19 and ethnic minorities, in addition to valuable teacher and student resources. I highly recommend this excellent resource. Lillian Comas-Diaz, Ph.D., Clinical Professor, George Washington University Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
