Immigrant Youth in Cultural Transition - Acculturation, Identity, and Adaptation Across National Contexts (Electronic book text)

Immigration is a phenomenon of world-wide importance, involving millions of migrants who settle into new societies, transforming both themselves and those who receive them. Drawing samples of immigrant youth from 32 ethnocultural communities living in 13 countries, the book addresses the ways in which youth make sense of their new lives, as they engage in both their parental heritage culture and their peers who represent the society of settlement. The book is written for general audiences as well as for researchers and practitioners in anthropology, education, psychology, social work, and sociology.
