Reviews"The authors explore current debates, implications for psychology and the world, and potential directions for future research. Important points are highlighted for students, academics, and applied professionals. ... The book's organized and accessible presentation makes it an efficient and highly usable reference. ... I also appreciate the authors' candor in identifying certain issues and identities that are largely invisible in existing psychological research. This would be a strong purchase for any library."
