Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press. 392 pp. Paperback octavo, very good condition, figures, minor edgewear. The wave of ethnic conflict that has swept across Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and Africa, has led to fear that these conflicts are contagious.

Ethnic conflict is not caused directly by intergroup differences or centuries-old feuds. The collapse of the Soviet Union did not simply uncork ethnic passions long suppressed. They look instead at how anxieties over security, competition for resources, breakdown in communication with the government, and the inability to make enduring commitments lead ethnic groups into conflict. Considers the strategic interactions that underlie ethnic conflict and its effective management. ISBN/ASIN: 0691016909. Our Book No: 15049. $25 AUD.

London: Allen Lane / Penguin Books. 401 pp. hardback thick octavo, dustjacket, as new condition (in as new dustjacket), minimal edgewear, barcode sticker inside rear cover. For much of their history, societies have violently oppressed ethnic, religious and sexual minorities. It is no surprise that passionate believers in social justice have come to think that marginalized groups need to take pride in their identity if they are to resist injustice. But recently, a healthy appreciation for the culture and heritage of minorities has transformed into an obsession with group identity imn all its forms, one that has quickly become influential around the world. A new ideology - which Yascha Mounk terms the 'identity synthesis' - seeks to put each citizen's matrix of identities at the heart of social, cultural and political life. This, he argues, is the Identity Trap. He traces the intellectual origins, consequences and limitations of these ideas, explaining how they have have won tremendous power, and why their application to education and public policy is proving to be deeply counterproductive. A passionate plea for universalism and humanism, he argues that the proponents of identitarian ideas will, though full of good intentions, make it harder to achieve progress towards genuine equality. The author studies populism and is a professor of international relations at Johns Hopkins University. ISBN/ASIN: 9780241638293. Our Book No: 18398. $35 AUD.

Washington, DC: American Psychological Association. 223 pp. Hardback quarto, dustjacket, very good plus condition (in very good plus dustjacket), minor edgewear. Asian Americans are proportionally the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States. Over the past 30 years, Asian American psychology has been an emerging field, with an increasingly complex and sophisticated research base. Until recently, much of the work in the field has proceeded without a theoretical or conceptual framework. This book offers such a framework for the conceptual development of Asian American psychology and provides future research directions by experts in the field. The book demonstrates that Asian Americans are a heterogeneous group that must be understood in context, with multiple racial, ethnic, gender, and cultural identities. Conceptual models highlighted in this volume contribute parallel advances not only in the psychological studies of other ethnic minority groups but also in the psychological research of an increasingly multicultural and global American population.

Ethan Watters reveals that the most devastating consequence of the spread of American culture has not been its golden arches or bomb craters, but the bulldozing of the human psyche itself: it is in the process of homogenising the way the world goes mad. For the past 30 years, America has been the world leader in mental-health research, and Western definitions of mental illness are prevailing over indigenous beliefs around the globe. He travels from China to Tanzania to bring home an unsettling conclusion: as America introduces Westernised ways of treating mental illnesses, it is in fact spreading the diseases. In post-tsunami Sri Lanka, Watters reports on the Western trauma counsellors who, in their rush to help, inadvertently trampled local expressions of grief, suffering, and healing. In Japan, Watters reveals the truth about a multi-million-dollar campaign by one of the world's biggest drug companies to change the Japanese experience of depression - literally marketing the disease along with the drug. By examining the Western impact on the psyches of people in other cultures, Watters forces us to take a fresh look at our own approaches to mental health and healing. It turns out that we may have as much to learn from other cultures' beliefs about the mind as we have to teach them. (Scarce Australian edition.). ISBN/ASIN: 9781921640643.
