“…They are considered the authors of the first psychological theory on acculturation, a term that was coined at the end of the nineteenth century by American social anthropologists, referring to changes in Native American languages and the psychological changes induced by cross-cultural imitation (Rudmin 2003). In the early 1970s, John Berry and his colleagues (Berry 1976;Berry and Annis 1974;Sam and Berry 2006;Sommerlad and Berry 1970) developed a prolific research program on the complex patterns associated with inter-cultural behaviors, attitudes and changes.…”

This paper describes an acculturative integration approach that stresses the contribution of liberation psychology. Immigrant integration is a challenge for receiving countries in the Western world due to the frequent asymmetrical and oppressive conditions suffered by newcomers in their new settlements. The cross-cultural perspective connects integration with psychological acculturation, emphasizing harmony between acquisitions of the new culture while maintaining cultural heritage, and creating opportunities for intergroup relationships. In turn, liberation psychology permits an understanding of the acculturative transition as an empowerment and self-construction process by which immigrants acquire a new vision of the world and of themselves, transforming both structural conditions and themselves. From this perspective we conceptualize acculturative integration as the process by which newcomers become an accepted part of the new society through a reflexive and evaluative process, changing their social references and position, rebuilding their social and personal resources, and achieving a new agency in coherence with their new challenges and goals. In this process, they acquire critical thinking about unequal conditions, gain capacities to respond to the inequalities, and take effective actions to confront them. We illustrate this process using the narratives of nine Moroccan women who are living in asymmetrical and oppressive local contexts in Andalusia, the southern-most region of Spain.

“…Fourth, from the early 20th century to the present, acculturation has been a topic of psychology and health, with a focus on immigrants as well as on native peoples (Rudmin, 2003a(Rudmin, , 2003b(Rudmin, , 2009). Such groups have historically been stereotyped as unintelligent, unhygienic, unhealthy, and prone to insanity and criminality, the 'cure' for which was acculturation to modern, Anglo-Saxon ways (Escobar, Nervi, & Gara, 2000;Escobar & Vega, 2000;Hunt, Schneider, & Comer, 2004;Jastrow, 1886;Rudmin, 2003cRudmin, , 2009Thielman, 1985).…”

Acculturation refers to cultural learning and adjustment in the context of continuous cross-cultural experience. Plato, in his 'Laws', considered cross-cultural imitation to be a risk arising from foreign commerce. In the 19th century, European theorists wrote of the amalgamation processes by which diverse peoples were culturally unified for the purposes of the nation-state. In the 20th century, acculturation research first focused on the cultural changes of conquered and dispossessed native peoples, and later on the cultural adaptation, assimilation, or integration of immigrants and other minorities. Native peoples and immigrants were stereotyped as genetically and culturally inferior and prone to diseases and mental illness. Thus, in most research, improved health became the criterion of successful acculturation, and further confusion came from the good intentions to advise public policy. A century of such research has come to no confident conclusions and has produced little useful information. Acculturation research paradigms need renovation.As one step forward, four acculturation researchers have here reflected on their own research in the light of their own acculturation experiences. Their self-observations and insights point to new questions and constructs, and eventually to new research paradigms. Acculturation research has been energetic and voluminous, especially so in the past few decades, but has produced little reliable or useful information. The research record shows confused concepts, circular reasoning, wrong research questions, and mistaken citations of mistaken interpretations of studies using mistaken measurements.

Rudmin (2009) No entanto, de forma geral, o número de artigos identifi cados foi relativamente baixo, considerando a importância do tema.

ArtigoTrends Psychol., Ribeirão Preto, vol. 26, nº 2, p. 943-956 -Junho/2018 ------------------------------------------- ResumoEste estudo examinou publicações em periódicos, no período de 2010 a 2015, sobre a relação entre multiculturalismo e criatividade. O levantamento foi realizado nas bases de dados Capes, PsycNET e SciELO. Foram selecionados 30 artigos que atenderam aos critérios de busca pré-estabelecidos. Os artigos foram analisados quanto às categorias: periódico, países de produção, objetivo de pesquisa, tipo de autoria, ano de publicação, tipo de estudo, abordagem do estudo, população pesquisada e instrumentos utilizados. Observou-se aumento das publicações sobre a temática nos últimos anos. Pesquisadores de regiões de alto fl uxo migratório, como Estados Unidos, Europa e Ásia, demonstraram maior interesse pela área. Não houve publicação brasileira, tampouco latina. A maioria dos estudos encontrados era empírico, de abordagem quantitativa e investigou participantes adultos. Os estudos revisados indicaram, de forma geral, haver relação entre criatividade e multiculturalismo, mediada por mecanismos psicológicos e condições do ambiente. Palavras-chave:Criatividade, multiculturalismo, biculturalismo. Creativity and Multiculturalism: Literature Review AbstractThis study examined journals articles, published from 2010 to 2015, about the relationship between multiculturalism and creativity. A literature search was conducted in the databases Capes, PsycNET and SciELO. Thirty articles that fi t within pre-established inclusion criteria were selected. The articles were analyzed according to the categories: journal, country of production, target, sample, and instruments. There was an increase in the number of publications concerning this theme in the last years. Researchers from regions with high migratory fl ow, such as United States, Europe and Asia, seemed more interested in the matter. There was no publication neither from Brazil nor Latin America. The majority of the studies selected were empirical, quantitative, and used adult samples. The reviewed studies indicated a relationship between creativity and multiculturalism, mediated by psychological mechanisms and environmental conditions.
