Lexington Books Immigrant Children: Change, Adaptation, and Cultural Transformation

Product Description This edited book focuses on immigrant and refugee children around the world and will provide readers with a richer and more comprehensive approach of how researchers, practitioners, and social policymakers can examine immigrant children and youth among ethnic minority families. Also, the chapters will focus on the various methodological advances used to explicitly investigate immigrant children and youth. Review As societies located in North America, Western Europe, and elsewhere are growing increasingly multicultural and multiracial in nature, social scientists, educators, service providers, and policy makers are confronted with the difficult task of understanding the new generations of immigrant and refugee children growing up in our midst. In this volume, a team of leading experts provides new information and guidelines essential to achieving this goal. They discuss a broad range of pertinent topics and are especially successful in linking basic research findings to policy recommendations and the perspectives of service providers.--Uwe Gielen, St. Francis College About the Author Susan S.
