Culture comes in many forms. Cultural Psychology: Cross-Cultural and Multicultural Perspectives combines hard science with everyday issues to explore how the intangible forces of our cultural milieu-including the power of race, religion, class, and gender-powerfully changes the way we want, think, and do the things that we do. It covers both cross-cultural differences and multicultural issues, incorporating both approaches to tackle modern issues of diversity and living in a diverse world. *Combines both cross-cultural and multicultural approaches in a single comprehensive text. *Includes chapters on the newest, most ground-breaking issues facing the study of culture: oUnpacks the origins of where culture comes from oDiscusses the history of culture and modern-day laboratory studies oExplains how culture shapes the brain (and how the brain changes culture) oDescribes cultural change in the era of globalization
