This collection of articles examines the impact of race and ethnicity on individual identity development in the United States. Theory and research is presented about African Americans, Asian Americans, Native American Indians, Whites, Puerto Ricans, and Vietnamese Amerasians. Articles by a multicultural group of authors provide a theoretical framework through which to discuss the concept of self across cultures, and address such issues as the relationship of power and dominance to attitudes of race, and the challenges of a biracial heritage.

“This book represents a significant contribution to the ongoing dialogue about the meaning of ethnicity, identity, and self in contemporary United States society…. Researchers and practitioners alike will want to add this book to their library.”

—Beverly Daniel Tatum, PhD, President, Spelman College

“Crossing Cultures in Mental Health represents a new dimension in the field of cross-cultural counseling and training.

Diversity expert and author John P. Fernandez has amassed 25 years of research (surveying such companies as AT&T, Coors, and US West), which serve as the foundation for this authoritative work. The premise is that while women and people of color have done what "they were told" (e.g. get an education, experience, credentials), they continue to face barriers in becoming full participants in corporate America. Dr. Fernandez' research confirms this, and the book does a thorough job of outlining both the issues and the solutions to this crucial problem.
