This volume presents psychobiographical research in
non-WEIRD—Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and
Democratic—contexts and samples, focusing on culture,
transcultural and transdisciplinary work. It creates a platform for
researchers, scholars and scientists from diverse backgrounds to
put forth new theoretical and methodological stances in
psychobiography, thereby making the field more
inclusive, diverse and equitable. The chapters in this
volume investigate the role of context across the life course of
non-WEIRD psychological subjects, as well as the interplay between
them and their environments across the life span. They further
elucidate cognitive, affective and behavioural aspects of
individuals with non-WEIRD backgrounds.The volume provides a broad
and at the same time in-depth perspective into psychobiography
beyond the usual contexts and therefore has new and original
learnings to offer across disciplines and cultures. It is a
breakthrough in terms of its transcultural and transdisciplinary
insights into lives lived in different contexts in the world.
"Every person is in certain respects (a) like all other persons,
(b) like some other persons, (c) like no other persons. This
book is a challenging and fascinating exploration of extending
psychobiography beyond its origins in Europe and America to women
and men of different races and social and economic classes from
Africa, Asia, and around the world. At its best, psychobiography
can increase people's awareness of their own subjective experience
and that of others, contributing to movements for social, cultural
and political change." William McKinley
Runyan,  Professor Emeritus & Professor of the
Graduate School,  School of Social Welfare, U. of
California Berkeley Beyond Weird is beyond
needed.  The book triumphantly fills the gap created by
a dearth of studies of people other than Western, educated,
European and American men. James William Anderson, PhD,
Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences,
Northwestern University, Chicago.
