Beyond diversity: toward a cultural community psychology.
We are increasingly considering culture as the context of diversity and, in the process, becoming a cultural community psychology. Our recent progress is discussed and a suggestion to accelerate our progress through greater collaboration with cultural psychology(4) is offered. The development of a cultural community psychology has implications for the traditional distinction between basic and applied psychology, our understanding of context, partnerships between academicians and practitioners, and the place of community psychology within the discipline of psychology. These implications are presented and discussed.
