Editorial Reviews

"A helpful reference source. The author, furthermore, appears to be immersed in multiculturalism through teaching and service and appears to have a good sense of the multicultural zeitgeist salient to society at this time. "

Joseph G. Ponterotto

"There appears to be a burgeoning lexicon of terms and concepts pertinent to multiculturalism. Unfortunately, this increase in the number of terms and concepts seems to be colliding with a decrease in a shared understanding of what they mean….a dictionary style volume for such terms seems an admirable and overdue quest. "

William H. George

"Scholars, practitioners, and instructors may find it a very handy reference and a useful teaching resource. "
