Cultural Psychology: A Once and Future Discipline

Rating:
Summary: Cole's book integrates culture into mainstream psychology.
Review: Mike Cole carefully chronicles the historical roots of culture in psychology. He demonstrates that psychologists have worried about the cultural aspects of human behavior since the onset of their discipline. It was only a matter of time before psychology developed to the point where it could no longer ignore the "activity system" that gives it life. Mike Cole helps us gain this insight.
