"I would recommend this book for use as core reading for a graduate-level course in the psychology of ethnic, social, or cultural diversity or as supplementary reading for a course on cross-cultural psychology or human diversity. It will be a useful addition to any course within one of these areas." (PsycCRITIQUES, 16 March 2011)

The nature of society is rapidly changing. Traditional social, cultural and geographic boundaries are being replaced with increasingly complex representations of identity. We are required to confront new ways of partitioning our social worlds, and this in turn creates new questions and demands for social scientists and policymakers. <p>This volume offers, for the first time, an integrated approach to these questions and demands, exploring the psychological implications and applications of new forms of social and cultural diversity. Leading scholars from a diverse range of perspectives have been brought together to focus on the psychology of diversity. They discuss research from a wide range of sub-disciplines, including social identity, social cognition, creativity, self-confidence and stereotype threat, prejudice, intergroup contact, biculturalism, and organizational behavior.</p> <p>The volume documents advancements in the field and explores converging links between research programs examining this critical social issue. This book offers a crucial understanding of the psychology of social and cultural diversity in the 21st century that directly addresses social intervention and policy implications, and which calls for an enduring understanding and appreciation of the value of social and cultural diversity.</p>
"Diversity is a fact of life as well as a necessity for evolution. Is diversity a precursor to hostility, a recipe for conflict, and anathema to productivity? Or, is diversity an opportunity for creativity, evolution, and greater human possibilities? How do we harness this critical juncture? Readers will find themselves struggling with these momentous questions together with the most qualified researchers on the topics. A must read for social psychologists who acknowledge their responsibilities for the emerging global human society."<br /> <b>—Yoshihisa Kashima</b>, The University of Melbourne <p>"This excellent compilation of papers offers much food for thought for theorists and researchers navigating the ever changing landscape of identity, culture and intergroup relations."<br /> <b>—Richard Lalonde</b>, York University</p>
