creating a socially integrated, empowered immigrant
identity by exploring the concepts acculturation model.
The author examines the psychology of acculturation
and the processes for creating a socially integrated
bicultural self for immigrants who retain cultural traditions
while adapting to new social norms and practices.
The complexity of this process embraces principles from
both social and cultural psychological paradigms and
emphasizes a non-dual approach for creating meaning
for a bicultural individual acculturating into a new
society.
