    Research and practice in the field of acculturation psychology is continually on the rise. Featuring contributions from over fifty leading experts in the field, this Handbook compiles and systemizes the current state of the art by exploring the broad international scope of acculturation. The collection introduces readers to the concepts and issues; examines various acculturating groups (immigrants, ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, expatriates, tourists, refugees and asylum seekers); highlights the global contexts for acculturation in a variety of societies; and focuses on acculturation of a number of special groups, such as young people, the workplace, and outcomes for health and well-being. This comprehensive new edition addresses major world changes over the last decade, including the increase in global migration, religious clashes, and social networking, and provides updated theories and models so that beginners and advanced readers can keep abreast of new developments in the study of acculturation.

    • Includes contextual features and theoretical, methodological, and applied issues central to acculturation psychology
    • Chapters have been merged and expanded to provide an integrated overview of the field, while new authors bring an added depth of coverage
    • Increased global scope includes chapters on East and Southeast Asia, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South America, and Eastern Europe
