Afterword: A research agenda
After receiving a Ph.D. in personality psychology from the
University of Michigan, Gary Gregg spent five years in southern
Morocco, conducting ethnographic research on the partly nomadic
Imeghrane confederation in the High Atlas-Dades Valley region, and
then a Fulbright- and NSF-sponsored study of identity development
among young adults. He has taught at Sarah Lawrence College and
Harvard's Center for Middle Eastern Studies, and currently
teaches
at Kalamazoo College.
... Gregg's book has much to recommend it. Gregg provides and encyclopaedic review of the cultural-psychology literature while seeking to reintroduce individual variation as an important variable for understanding the key issues of our times. He raises the important question of the impact of oppression, war and violence on large numbers of residents of the Middle East and North Africa, and provides a useful agenda for future research.
