This challenging and insightful work wrestles with the difficult treatment problems confronting both culturally and socially oppressed clients and psychotherapists in a society where diversity has often been resisted. The authors question long-held assumptions within the profession and urge recognition of new ethnic, racial, and gender realities which significantly impact therapies. Recognizing the implications of cultural diversity in the society, the authors-clinicians seek to broaden health professionals' awareness of clients' needs and to promote the requisite empathy. They describe how ethnic, racial, and gender issues affect psychotherapy's progress and outcomes. Specific concerns about such key factors as self-esteem, gender roles, and social regard are addressed in a context supportive of diversity enhancement rather than one seeking uniformity. Case studies offer highly valuable resource material and, through the authors' explication, insights into their challenging perspectives on this highly important health service.

Long after the end of the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, desegregation in the schools, the abolition of anti-Asian legislation and the Women's Movement, the pernicious effects of prejudice and discrimination in U.S. society are still evident. Despite efforts to eradicate the injustice against people based on race, ethnicity, gender, disability, or other elements, prejudice and discrimination remain. In most cases, the display is more covert than in years past. Today the United States is embroiled in battles regarding Gay rights. Bias and disparities in services, opportunities, and practices affect quality of life, health, and mental health for all peoples. In these volumes focused on the psychology at issue, experts from across the nation and in different fields examine the state of prejudice and discrimination in America today, and each offers practical direction that can be taken by individuals, communities, and officials to create a more just society.Each chapter offers a toolbox of information on how to cope, how to keep oneself whole, how to seek validation of identity, how to raise children to dispel unfair images and perceptions, and how to work for societal change.

Although leadership theories have evolved to reflect changing social contexts, many remain silent on issues of equity, diversity, and social justice. Diversity and Leadership, by Jean Lau Chin and Joseph E. Trimble, offers a new paradigm for examining leadership by bringing together two domains—research on leadership and research on diversity—to challenge existing notions of leadership and move toward a diverse and global view of society and its institutions. This compelling book delivers an approach to leadership that is inclusive, promotes access for diverse leaders, and addresses barriers that narrowly confine our perceptions and expectations of leaders. Redefining leadership as global and diverse, the authors impart new understanding of who our leaders are, the process of communication, exchange between leaders and their members, criteria for selecting, training, and evaluating leaders in the 21st century, and the organizational and societal contexts in which leadership is exercised.

The story of the Toisanese and Cantonese Chinese, especially of those from New York City, are largely missing from our annals of history. The accomplishments of these peasant farmers and their offspring from southern China were extraordinary amidst enormous struggles. Known as the Jook Sing generation, their children went on to become responsible U.S. citizens and educated professionals. Many enter fields where no Chinese had gone before. They created, within New York City’s Chinatown, a village and a community with its cobweb of family and social relationships. It was safe, supportive, and they belonged. This book is a collection of narratives about ordinary people who made extraordinary strides. It is a psychosocial account of narratives of the Toisanese and Cantonese Chinese growing up during the 1940s-1960s in the US—told for the next generation lest they be forgotten. While the Garden of Eden lies in the East for Westerners, the Jade Mountain of the Queen Mother, Hsi Wang Mu, lies in the West for Easterners. These pioneering Chinese made their Journey to the West. What made for their resilience and bonds that enabled them to succeed? Isn’t it ironic that they came to America for economic opportunities, only to be mistrusted for their political allegiances? They were recruited for jobs that White Americans did not want; yet they became an economic threat because they took away American jobs. Chinatown was viewed as a secretive and isolated community; yet the anti-Chinese laws blatantly discriminated and excluded them from housing, immigration, and access to mainstream resources. Isn’t it ironic how many Chinese Americans served in the military, yet faced more backlash from their American comrades than from the enemy? They continued to be viewed as foreigners despite sacrificing their lives for the US. But most of all, this story about the Cantonese and Toisanese Chinese is a story about the plight of all immigrants. Volume 2 is a collection of stories for the New York City Chinatown Oral History Project, www.ceoservices.wix.com/nycchinatownoralhist. The project celebrates the lives of ordinary Chinese immigrants and Chinese American citizens, who shared similar experiences, and together made extraordinary strides as a community—forming bonds that have lasted a lifetime. Since the biennial NYC Chinatown Reunions in Las Vegas began in 2000, many felt the need to document these stories of a forgotten generation in the annals of U.S. history. Few Toisanese now immigrate to America. Yet, they were responsible for the initial introduction of cheap Chinese food to the American public—Chow Mein, Chop Suey, Wonton Soup and Egg rolls. What a difference today’s more gourmet Cantonese cuisine is to the American palate! While Volume I was foundational, Volume II builds on and expands these narratives of resilience and community support networks. Over 300 individuals have participated to this project. This volume includes stories collected between 2013 and 2016 from individual interviews, recorded project events, submitted stories, and taped conversations. All participants have given permission for their stories to be used. Common themes in Volume II include that of Chinatown as a village, the bonds among Chinese families, the sacrifice made by our pioneering parents, Chinese American identity, and how “we did it in one generation”. Our Journey to the West marks the end of an era and how a unique Chinese American culture emerged. The challenges and resilience of this group in dealing with mobility, access, discrimination, and the stigma and pride of their Toisanese ways are inspiring. Most lived in poverty amidst a backdrop of cultural and community riches. They Lived the American Dream—their story is of accomplishments and successes, notable firsts and atypical paths as descendants of peasant farmers from Toisan to become productive Chinese American citizens. And We did it Our Way!
