This book documents the third in a series of annual symposia on
family issues--the National Symposium on International Migration
and Family Change: The Experience of U.S. Immigrants--held at
Pennsylvania State University. Although most existing literature on
migration focuses solely on the origin, numbers, and economic
success of migrants, this book examines how migration affects
family relations and child development. By exploring the
experiences of immigrant families, particularly as they relate to
assimilation and adaptation processes, the text provides
information that is central to a better understanding of the
migrant experience and its affect on family outcomes. Policymakers
and academics alike will take interest in the questions this book
addresses: * Does the fact that migrant offspring get involved in
U.S. culture more quickly than their parents jeopardize the
parents' effectiveness in preventing the development of antisocial
behavior? * How does the change in culture and language affect the
cognitive development of children and youth? * Does exposure to
patterns of family organizations, so prevalent in the United States
(cohabitation, divorce, nonmarital childbearing), decrease the
stability of immigrant families? * Does the poverty facing many
immigrant families lead to harsher and less supportive
child-rearing practices? * What familial and extra-familial
conditions promote "resilience" in immigrant parents and their
children? * Does discrimination, coupled with the need for rapid
adaption, create stress that erodes marital quality and the
parent-child bond in immigrant families? * What policies enhance or
impede immigrant family links to U.S. institutions?
