Review Quotes
"Body Image and the Asian Experience is a comprehensive book including diverse and nuanced topics, culturally informed empirical research and theoretical frameworks, and mental health implications. The personal narratives provide powerful richness and insights throughout that are often unacknowledged in the field. The chapters highlight the role of contextual factors on body image development for Asian American women and the importance for theories to be inclusive of the diversity within Asian communities. This book is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in a holistic review of the complex field of body image within the Asian diaspora. As a mental health practitioner committed to providing compassionate and culturally appropriate and informed care, this book is an essential resource!" -- Diane S. Hayashino, Ph.D., CA State University, Long Beach
