Visions Inspired by K. S. Yang

Herausgegeben: Sundararajan, Louise; Hwang, Kwang-Kuo; Yeh, Kuang-Hui

Beschreibung

This volume celebrates the visions of a more equitable global psychology as inspired by the late Professor K. S. Yang, one of the founders of the indigenous psychology movement. This unprecedented international debate among leaders in the field is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the movement from within-the thinking and the vision of those who are the driving forces behind the movement. This book should appeal to scholars and students of psychology, sociology, anthropology, ethnology, philosophy of science, and postcolonial studies.
