First sentence: Many researchers (e.g., Coll et al., 1996) have voiced concerns regarding the paucity of culturally relevant and coherent theoretical perspectives on children of color (e.g., Gibbs, 1998) and some scholars have (e.g., Cauce, Ryan, &amp; Grove, 1988; Graham, 1992) documented the subsequent absence of culturally relevant, theoretically driven empirical investigations on normal development in children and adolescents of color (McLoyd &amp; Steinberg, 1998).
