Cultural Diversity and Families: Expanding Perspectives breaks new ground by investigating how concepts of cultural diversity have shaped the study of families from theoretical and applied perspectives. Authors Bahira Sherif Trask and Raeann R. Hamon move the dialogue about culturally diverse families to a new level by topically discussing the issues affecting culturally diverse families rather than organizing the information by racial and or ethnic groups.

Needed it for school but I almost kept it because it's actually a really informative book. Probably should be required reading for everyone.

I purchased this book for a college class. It was interesting and on point. Unlike other textbooks, I looked forward to reading it. The chapters were of reasonable length and did not drag on. While I wouldn't have purchased the book for personal use, it was tolerable for academics.
