Book Overview
In The Handbook of Multicultural Perspectives on Stress and Coping, an international, multiethnic panel of forty-five contributors presents elegant studies of stress, survival, and resilience as cultures evolve and countries interact, including personal transformation as a coping strategy; individual versus collectivist values in coping; Buddhist and Taoist traditions in coping; the cumulative effects of historical, environmental, and political stressors on nations in the Middle East; cross-cultural perspectives, from Latino-American families to Canadian aboriginal peoples to minority university students. The book moves beyond simple comparisons of behaviors in other countries to clarify critical concepts in stress and coping, analyzing and synthesizing vast amounts of global data, and identifying constructs and methodologies necessary for meaningful cross-cultural research.
