The volume will be a collection of chapters about current theory,
research, and practice related to multiculturalism and positive
psychology. This book will serve as a reference to any who are
interested in the intersection of positive psychology and
multicultural context. While many in the field of positive
psychology have begun to move more strongly towards a
culturally-embedded approach that recognizes the importance of
context in discussing, viewing and cultivating strengths in
individuals from different backgrounds, there is still a dearth of
research in this area compared with studies that take a
cross-cultural approach (comparing people from different countries)
or one that is purported to be “culture-free” or universal in
its application. While it is becoming more common to see various
articles or chapters published on these topics, there is still no
comprehensive text aimed at discussion of the collection of these
topics presented in a cohesive and structured way. This book aims
to fill this gap in the literature. In this book, a broad
definition of culture is utilized that includes such facets as
race, ethnicity, socioeconomic or social class status, disability,
religion, sexual orientation and gender. This book is intended to
present research, theory and suggestions for practice that are
grounded in diverse cultural contexts and current scholarship. It
will assist researchers, students and practitioners who are
studying and working within diverse populations. Currently there
exists no comprehensive text that addresses the intersection of
positive psychology and multiculturalism. Several edited volumes
address positive psychology constructs (e.g., well-being, optimal
experience, autonomy) across cultures, but they do not focus on
multicultural populations within the United States. Other books
focus more specifically on mental health applications and stress
and coping among multicultural populations, however these books do
not provide a broad perspective on psychology beyond this
application piece. The proposed book will review current theory and
research about constructs in addition to applications across
contexts. Finally, other published books have focused on youth
within multicultural society; this volume is more broad in its
address of issues of positive psychology across the lifespan and
across various aspects of identity including disability, gender,
social class and sexual orientation.
