"The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity, editors bring together a distinguished and impressive set of 47 authors in 22 chapters to address focal aspects of multicultural identity and experience. Benet-Martínez and Hong's volume brings together primarily socialpsychological perspectives, with additional contributions from counseling psychology,
developmental psychology, communication, education, marketing, organizational behavior,
and speech-language communication. Overall, the Handbook is a very useful and much-needed resource. It provides, in one place, access to thorough and thoughtful reviews of key topics in the psychology of multiculturalism, serving as a one-stop location for overviews of notable current perspectives, research programs, and theoretical frameworks. Given its comprehensive coverage and its singular configuration, Benet-Martínez and Hong's
contribution fills a unique gap in the field and will most likely be a much-used resource." --PsycCRITIQUES
