Description

"The second edition of this seminal text has been thoroughly revised to present an up-to-date and critical account of Western psychiatry and psychology from a cross-cultural perspective. Whilst retaining the clear and direct writing style of the first edition, the text has been rewritten extensively and restructured to maintain its unrivalled breadth and sophistication."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

The term 'race' entered the English language in the sixteenth century at a time when the Bible was accepted as the authority on human affairs, and was used originally in the sense of lineage, supposedly ordained at the creation of the world (Banton, 1987).
