REVISITING "THE INVISIBLE CULTURE OF THE MULTIRACIAL, MULTIETHNIC INDIVIDUAL: A TRANSCULTURAL IMPERATIVE".

Abstract

Past and present policies, politics, myths, stereotypes, and societal attitudes influence the lived experience of multiple heritage individuals, often resulting in marginalization, disparities, invisibility, cultural pain, and/or unmet needs. This article offers commentary about the past and present with thought-provoking questions for future direction regarding "The Invisible Culture of the Multiracial, Multiethnic Individual: A Transcultural Imperative." The commentary revisits and reminds readers about the 2001 article on the same topic, quickly brings them to the reality of the present, and challenges nurses and other professionals to dismantle disparities through cultural congruent care that focuses on making the invisible culture visible.
