Reviews

"Given the strength of the DEI movement in bringing the concept of culture center-stage, this offering seems to provide an encouraging counterweight for those academics and students eager to look beyond the incendiary hype into the fact of every person's "culturedness". The chapter authors are practicing Millennial psychologists with a growing reputation within their area of disciplinary expertise. In this collected volume, they each write about how they have confronted their own culturedness and, through their own research, have explored the impact of other persons' culturedness in the living reality of their daily lives. The author's lived stories will encourage openminded students of psychology to venture into exploring the interface of culture into their own lives and the lives of others around them near and far, thereby promoting the worldly-mindedness and civility necessary for humanity to survive and prosper in this stuttering 21st Century."
