Cultural Psychology of Immigrants

Twenty-three international academics from the fields of behavioral ecology, psychology, sociology, American culture, public health, social work, and anthropology contribute 18 chapters examining the various cultural psychological consequences of displacement among different immigrant and refugee communities in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Coverage includes various theoretical perspectives on immigration, globalization, and transnationalism; racial discrimination of immigrants and immigrants’ discriminatory attitudes toward African Americans; ways that the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, social class, and sexuality influence the formation of self; and the pivotal role of family contexts in shaping child development, identity formation, and negotiation.
