This book examines the impact of race and ethnicity on individual identity development in the United States.

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.
