How is ethnic and racial discrimination impacting our young people? Scholars around the world have found that discriminatory interactions of this nature have detrimental impacts on youth and their development. In this handbook, the world's leading experts on this topic examine the current state of the science, presenting current research and tracing foundational theories, empirical findings, multilevel methods, and intervention strategies for children, adolescents, and young adults. Covering multiple ethnic and racial groups across the United States and globally, chapters highlight both universal and distinct experiences and provide an in-depth overview of how race-related stressors affect youth outcomes. The text also offers clear conceptual frameworks, methodological guidance, and future-facing strategies to strengthen research, policy, and practice. With its expansive international scope and interdisciplinary depth, it is an essential resource for graduate students and scholars across developmental psychology, child development, human development and family studies, sociology, and ethnic studies.
