Summary: We live in a world defined by cultural diversity, and, thus, multicultural experiences and identities have become a regular component of many individuals' lives. The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity: Basic and Applied Psychological Perspectives, which consists of 22 chapters written by some of the most accomplished scholars on the topic, reviews cutting-edge empirical and theoretical work on the psychology of multicultural identities and experiences (and related topics such as acculturation, globalization, intercultural relations, etc.). The chapters are organized into six thematic groupings: Definitional Issues and Basic Processes (Part I); The Social-Psychological Context (Part II); Measurement and Validity Issues (Part III); Individual Differences (Part IV); Developmental, Educational, and Counseling Issues (Part V); and Applied Perspectives (Part VI). As a whole, the volume addresses some important basic issues (e.g., measurement of multicultural identity, links between multilingualism and multiculturalism, psychological reactions to globalization) and also applied ones (e.g., how to address multiculturalism in marketing and organizational science), and reviews relevant research from diverse traditions within psychology (i.e., social, personality, developmental, acculturation, educational, political) and managerial sciences (i.e., organizational, marketing). The progression of chapters weaves a coherent tapestry of all that is relevant to the psychological study of multiculturalism and intercultural relations
