In \u003ci\u003eMulticulturalism and Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e, Bernice Lott uses the lenses of social and critical psychology to illuminate the meaning and scope of culture and its relationship with diversity. Lott posits that all human beings in contemporary society are multicultural and focuses on the many dimensions and politics of culture and how these shape individual identities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe definition of culture guiding this book is one that is inclusive and pertains to many human groups, large and small. The author argues that such an approach provides an authentic way of understanding how significant group memberships affect individual self-definition, experience, behavior, and social interaction. \u003ci\u003eMulticulturalism and Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e positions multicultural psychology as an active, changing, and dynamic field and is sure to stimulate reasoned debate, discussion, and questions for further empirical inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBernice Lott\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emerita of Psychology and Women's Studies at the University of Rhode Island and is a former Dean of its University College.
