A second invitation to dialogue: Multiculturalism and psychology.

Replies to comments by G. C. Hall et al, T. Teo and A. R. Febbraro, M. Gaubatz, and S. C. Yanchar and B. D. Slife (see records 84-35056, 35062, 35053, and 35063, respectively) on the authors' article (see record 83-30335) regarding multiculturalism and psychology. The value of critique is apparent in the multicultural, critical theory, postmodern, and hermeneutic viewpoints expressed. These comments illustrate how difficult it is to establish common ground, for all 4 of these perspectives share a common critical stance toward mainstream social science's failure to come to grips with the cultural and temporal embeddedness of human life. Specific points of the comments are individually addressed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
