Hispanic Psychology : Critical Issues in Theory and Research

Rating:
Summary: nice, but not too impressive
Review: In this anthology, a range of psychological issues affecting Latinos (though here they say Hispanics) are discussed. Topics include minority stress, HIV/AIDS, smoking, education, and more. The contributors have Spanish and non-Spanish last names, thus suggesting this book was a multicultural collaboration. This book effectively brings psychology and ethnic studies together. The chapters are quite short and easy to read. Still, the book felt flat. There is not much to learn here. This book would only be useful to undergraduate psychology majors and not many others. I mean, it's an okay survey book. I just wasn't blown away like I thought I would be.
