'Remarkably, Asian American Psychology: Expanding Identities, 2nd Edition not only meets the high standard set by its predecessor—it surpasses it. Written by leading scholars, experts, and practitioners in Asian American psychology, each chapter offers cutting-edge insights and perspectives, integrating theoretical, conceptual, and real‑world applications across a wide range of topics…This second edition is poised to become the new gold standard in the field. Rich, comprehensive, and urgently relevant, it is a goldmine of knowledge at a time when such understanding is critically needed.'~ Derald Wing Sue, Ph.D., Columbia University, USA.'Addressing “Asian American psychology” is always an ambitious endeavor, because it requires simultaneously recognizing the vast heterogeneity of the Asian diaspora in the United States, and the tender balancing act of exploring complex colonization and migration histories and intersectionalities. Asian American Psychology: Expanding Identities elegantly consolidates the expertise of diverse scholars to address contemporary developmental, systemic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal issues in these understudied subgroups and populations. This book is an essential and comprehensive resource for students, researchers, and clinicians seeking a nuanced and grounded exploration of the myriad acculturative, psychological and psychosocial considerations faced by the range of Asian communities in the United States.'~ Ramani Durvasula, Ph.D., New York Times Bestselling Author.'Asian American Psychology: Expanding Identities is a foundational distillation of decades of expertise on bimodal, intersectional APIDA communities. Outstanding researchers and clinical experts in APIDA mental health have deftly woven historical context, psychological research, and heritage wisdom into timely and accessible chapters. The uncolonized, action-oriented chapters integrating social determinants of health and their relevance to psychopathology risk factors can be a resource and guide in health promotion and community empowerment. This is an essential volume for all readers seeking in depth knowledge of Asian American Psychology. Reading this felt like engaging in a masterclass with top Asian American Psychology mentors.'~ Helen H. Hsu, PsyD, Stanford University, USA.'Asian American perspectives and experiences can significantly inform American and global conversations on colonialism, immigration, racism, trauma, Indigeneity, well-being, and many other topics and issues. This makes Asian American Psychology: Expanding Identities especially relevant, timely, and critical. Drs. Nita Tewari, Alvin Alvarez, and Michi Fu have done an outstanding job of assembling a group of scholars, service providers, and community leaders who not only provide coverage and discussion of these issues that are based on rigorous science and scholarship, but are also grounded in the realities of the communities they represent. This book is a must-have and a must-read!'~ E. J. R. David, Ph.D., University of Alaska Anchorage, USA.
