Kimberly Holt Barrett has a Ph.D. for the U. of San Francisco and
is a Senior Lecturer in the Psychology Department. She teaches
courses on racism and race, culture, gender and law, while actively
consulting with attorneys, doing court ordered evaluations, and
supervises graduate students who are learning to conduct
cross-cultural assessments.
Bill George is an associate professor in the psychology department
and his area is adult clinical with specialty in alcohol abuse,
addiction and sexual assault. He also has a background in
corrections, following his bachelor’s degree with c0-majors in
psychology and criminal justice.
"In a diverse democracy, law must be open to all. All too often,
however, our system of justice has failed to live up to our shared
ideals, because it excludes individuals and communities even as
they seek to use it or find themselves caught up in it. The
research presented here offers hope. The abstract doctrines of the
law are presented through real cases. Judges, lawyers, scholars,
and concerned citizens will find much in these pages documenting
the need for reform, along with the means for achieving our
aspirations. The issues presented by race, ethnicity, and cultural
differences are obviously central to the resolution of disputes in
a nation made up of people who have in common only their faith in
the great experiment of the United States Constitution. Here the
challenges are met in an original, accessible, and thoughtful
manner."
*Frank H. Wu*
"Kim Barrett and William George have taken on an enormous task,
which is matched only by its timeliness. Cultural competence and
cultural diversity pass off our lips as eternally valued ideals,
but Barrett and George have brought a critical and edifying eye to
thee ideas. Racism is similarly easy to acknowledge but difficult
to account for in the everyday lives of ordinary people of color.
What we discover in this impressive volume is not only that race
and culture matter, but how they matter in the minds of people who
are clients and the minds of people who attempt to serve them and
in the courts of law that attempt to mete out justice. Race,
Culture Psychology and the Law is essential reading for anyone with
a professional or personal interest in social justice and
psychological well-being."
*James M. Jones, Ph.D.*
"This is an extraordinary and daring compilation of cutting edge
commentaries that should prove invaluable to students, scholars,
and practitioners working in social work, clinical and
forensic psychology, juvenile justice, immigration adjustment,
Native American advocacy, and child and adult abuse. It is
a quality text that tackles key topics bridged by psychology
and the law with clarity, succinctness, complexity, and
evenhandedness."
*William E. Cross, Jr., Ph.D.*
"This book offers valuable and much-needed perspectives on the
intersection of race, psychology, and the law. In the legal
environment, we as attorneys all too often ignore or minimize these
issues when working with clients. Understanding these issues, and
incorporating them into our representation, would not only provide
our clients with more dignity, but also increase the quality of our
representation."
*Vicky Dobrin*
"This book provides an invaluable reference for legal professionals
who work with diverse and traumatized communities. It not only
exposes the many barriers existing between our clients and our
immigration system, but it also challenges us, as advocates, to
recognize some less obvious obstacles between our clients and
ourselves. The insights contained in RCPL empower advocates to
proactively deconstruct such barriers in order to more zealously
and effectively ensure that our client′s voices resound powerfully
in the legal arena."
*Bina Hanchinamani Ellefsen*
"Editors Kimberly Barrett and William George have brought together
an impressive array of contributions that demonstrate how critical
it is to understand race, ethnicity, and culture in forensic
psychology. . . . The presentations will be particularly appealing
and useful to practitioners, researchers, and forensic specialists
in psychology and the judicial system."
*Stanley Sue*
"The articles accumulated by editors Kimberly Barrett and William
George cover a broad range of issues and topics and yet all address
an even more fundamental concern, that is "equal access to
justice." Race, Culture, Psychology, and Law is a substantial step
toward opening our eyes and leveling the playing field.
Irrespective of ethnicity, national original, physical or mental
impairment, everyone is entitled to the "opportunity to effectively
participate" in legal proceedings. This book gives the reader a
greater understanding of what that truly is."
*Ron A. Mamiya*
"The editors have compiled outstanding chapters that document
racism in legal decisions making, provide guidelines for
cross-cultural assessment procedures, elucidate the history of and
laws pertaining to immigrants and refugees, and analyze the role of
culture in working with children, families, and juveniles and in
understanding violence. The current book provides a great service
to the field; perhaps Barrett and George will follow this
impressive work with a second volume, dedicated to understanding
and eliminating personal biases."
