Studying Ethnic Identity: Methodological and Conceptual Approaches Across Disciplines explores the formation and maintenance of ethnic identity across the lifespan. Edited by Carlos E. Santos PhD and Adriana Umaña-Taylor, this volume brings together a diverse group of social and applied scientists from fields such as educational anthropology, developmental psychology, community psychology, social psychology, and sociology. The book delves into various methods for conceptualizing and measuring ethnic identity, including qualitative and quantitative approaches like narrative psychology, ethnographic studies, cognitive schemas, semi-structured interviews, and social network analyses. Each contributor provides contextually rich insights that center on the lived experiences of individuals in diverse and multiethnic societies. This comprehensive exploration aims to address the fragmented nature of research in this field and enhance conceptual clarity and methodological rigor.
