Jennifer Teramoto Pedrotti and Denise A. Isom's Multicultural Psychology will help students apply concepts to their own lives, to assess their own awareness and progress, and to consider their own role and ability to engage in social change. With this balanced approach, the text helps students entering the course with varied levels of cultural and diversity awareness to understand their individual and social cultural contexts, to gain awareness of their interactions with others, and to understand the intersections that occur with other cultures across their lives and careers.
