Ethnic Psychology: Research and Practice with Immigrants, Refugees, Native Peoples, Ethnic Groups and Sojourners : Selected Papers from the North American Regional IACCP Conference on Ethnic Psychology Held in Kingston, Canada, August 16-21, 1987John W. Berry, R. C. Annis Concerned primarily with research and practice in America although it also focuses on research elsewhere. Topics include acculturation, adaptation, stress, identity, ethnic groups and sojourners. The thrust of the present volume is to show that these issues and peoples can best be understood using the perspectives and tools rooted in the experiences of cross-cultural psychologists, rather than the more conventional approach (that largely ignores culture) found in most of the psychological literature on the topic of minorities.
