Guided by the increasing number of interracial marriages, cross-cultural adoptions and resulting multiethnic individuals and families, scholars and scientists reveal the complex and persistent changes in the ethnic profile of Americans, families and their communities.
The editors of this book selected the research of 31 nationally and internationally recognized scholars who present 14 chapters of current knowledge on the changing demographics of multiethnicity and their implications for human development and identity development, social and family relationships, functioning, stress, coping and resilience.
The senior contributing scholars and their disciplines are: Sharon Lee, PhD, Demography; Emmy Werner, PhD, Child Development; Jonathan Okamura, PhD, Sociology; Cathy Tashiro, PhD, Nursing; Hamilton McCubbin, PhD, Family Science; Barbara DeBaryshe, PhD, Human Development; Cardell Jacobson, PhD, Sociology; Jenifer Bratter, PhD, Psychology; Xuanning Fu, PhD, Anthropology; Richard Lee, PhD, Psychology; Laurie McCubbin, PhD, Counseling Psychology; Farzana Nayani, PhD, Ethnic Studies; Jeannette Johnson, PhD, Psychology; and Michael Ungar, PhD, Social Work.
Multiethnicity and Multiethnic Families: Development, Identity, and Resilience (Le`a Publications) addresses core theoretical, methodological and policy issues surrounding the changing demographics of multiethnic and particularly indigenous groups in the United States. The issues of historical trauma, schema, appraisal, adaptation, measurement and intervention are magnified. The introduction and fourteen chapters aim to build upon prior writings and research and to improve upon our understanding of these populations with all their complexities. Present and future research and knowledge gained on what it means to be multiethnic is vital to our efforts to shape their futures and improve upon our professional understanding and investment in enabling this emerging population to thrive as well as survive.
Chapters include:
