Marginality in a Pluralistic Society, by Billie Davis

I read this article a couple of years ago, then entitled "The 150% Person". I just ran across a copy. It's as good now as it was then.

Sample: " ... a former missionary ... says the psychological adjustment necessary for optimum multicultural relations is to yield part of one's birth culture to merge with another. He compares this with the initial socialization of a child, making adjustments to become a fully developed personality within a social context. He calls his model the 150 percent person. The person who is more than whole."

Read the entire article here.
