Multiculturalism is a prevalent worldwide societal phenomenon.
Aspects of our modern life, such as migration, economic
globalization, multicultural policies, and cross-border travel and
communication have made intercultural contacts inevitable. High
numbers of multicultural individuals (23-43% of the population by
some estimates) can be found in many nations where migration has
been strong (e.g., Australia, U.S., Western Europe, Singapore) or
where there is a history of colonization (e.g., Hong Kong). Many
multicultural individuals are also ethnic and cultural minorities
who are descendants of immigrants, majority individuals with
extensive multicultural experiences, or people with culturally
mixed families; all people for whom identification and/or
involvement with multiple cultures is the norm. Despite the
prevalence of multicultural identity and experiences, until the
publication of this volume, there has not yet been a comprehensive
review of scholarly research on the psychological underpinning of
multiculturalism. The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity
fills this void. It reviews cutting-edge empirical and theoretical
work on the psychology of multicultural identities and experiences.
As a whole, the volume addresses some important basic issues, such
as measurement of multicultural identity, links between
multilingualism and multiculturalism, the social psychology of
multiculturalism and globalization, as well as applied issues such
as multiculturalism in counseling, education, policy, marketing and
organizational science, to mention a few. This handbook will be
useful for students, researchers, and teachers in cultural, social,
personality, developmental, acculturation, and ethnic psychology.
It can also be used as a source book in advanced undergraduate and
graduate courses on identity and multiculturalism, and a reference
for applied psychologists and researchers in the domains of
education, management, and marketing.
