Identity and Cultural Diversity examines immigration and its effect
on diversity from a social psychological perspective. Immigration
increases cultural diversity and raises difficult questions of
belonging, adaptation, and the unity of societies: questions of
identity may be felt by people struggling with the basic problem of
who they are and where they fit in, and although cultural diversity
can enrich communities and societies it also sometimes leads to a
new tribalism, which threatens democracy and social cohesion. The
author Maykel Verkuyten considers how people give meaning to the
fact that they belong to ethnic, racial, religious and national
groups, and the implications this can have for social cohesion. The
opening chapters consider the nature of social identity and group
identification, and include discussions of identity development in
adolescence, acculturation, and multiple and dual identities.
Verkuyten then considers one of the most pernicious social
problems: how conflict emerges from perceiving others as different.
He examines when and why group distinctions grow into conflicts and
considers the role of cultural diversity beliefs, such as
multiculturalism and assimilation. The book concludes by exploring
productive ways of managing cultural diversity. Written in an
engaging style, Identity and Cultural Diversity will be essential
reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of social and
cultural psychology and other social sciences, and it also makes
key themes in social psychology accessible to a wider audience
outside academia.
