The third edition of this textbook is divided into two sections. The first section addresses the "framework for cultural assessment and intervention techniques" and covers topics such as communication, personal space, social organization, time perceptions, environmental control, and biological variations. The second, more lengthy part of the book concerns individual ethnic groups who have settled in the United States: African, Mexican, Russian, Irish, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Haitian, Jewish, and Korean Americans, as well as Navajos, Appalachians, Eskimos, East Indiana Hindu, and French Canadians of Quebec Origin. Each chapter begins with clearly stated objectives, and proceeds to address the aforementioned framework topics as the topics relate to each group. A case study, nursing care plan, study questions and lengthy reading lists round out each chapter.
