Race, Ethnicity and Self: Identity in Multicultural Perspective

This book examines the impact of race and ethnicity on individual identity development in the United States. Theory and research is presented about African Americans, Asian Americans, Native American Indians, Whites, Puerto Ricans, and Vietnamese Americans. Articles by a multicultural group of authors provide a theoretical framework through which to discuss the concept of self across cultures, and address such issues as the relationship of power and dominance to attitudes of race, and the challenges of a biracial heritage.
