What does it mean to become an adult in the face of economic
uncertainty and increasing racial and immigrant diversity? Nearly
half of all young people in the United States are racial
minorities, and one in four are from immigrant families. Diversity
and the Transition to Adulthood in America offers a comprehensive
overview of young people across racial and immigrant groups and
their paths through traditional markers of adulthood-from finishing
education, working full time, and establishing residential
independence to getting married and having children. Taking a look
at the diversity of experiences, the authors uncover how the
transition to adulthood is increasingly fragmented, especially
among those without college degrees. This book will introduce
students to immigrant, racial, and ethnic diversity in the
transition to adulthood in contemporary America.
