- Summary
-
This book was designed to facilitate ... awareness of other cultures and awareness of diversity. The intent was to choose articles from research literature that address myriad facets of cultural diversity and families ... The book's purposes are to counter a vast amount of misinformation based on fallacious thinking with facts garnered from the research literature and to educate regarding cultural differences of families by informing people what those cultural differences are ... [the editors] have chosen to accentuate the human development and family life-span perspectives ... The four most prominent minority groups in the literature are blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asians ... Articles were chosen to provide an overview of each of these four groups and, in some cases, to provide cross-comparisons ... [the editors] have focused on family functions, not family dysfunction, on differences, not deficiencies. [They] have listened for the voice of ethnic and racial minorities speaking for themselves. -Introd.
