Much like the United States, the countries of Western Europe have
experienced massive immigration in the last three decades. Spain,
in particular, has been transformed from an immigrant-exporting
country to one receiving hundreds of thousands of new immigrants.
Today, almost 13 percent of the country's population is
foreign-born. Spanish Legacies, written by internationally known
experts on immigration, explores how the children of immigrants-the
second generation-are coping with the challenges of adaptation to
Spanish society, comparing their experiences with those of their
peers in the United States. Using a rich data set based on both
survey and ethnographic material, Spanish Legacies describes the
experiences of growing up by the large population of
second-generation youths in Spain and the principal outcomes of the
process-from national self-identification and experiences of
discrimination to educational attainment and labor-market entry.
The study is based on a sample of almost 7,000 second-generation
students who were interviewed in Madrid and Barcelona in 2008 and
then followed and re-interviewed four years later. A survey of
immigrant parents, a replacement sample for lost respondents in the
second survey, and a survey of native-parentage students complement
this rich data set. Outcomes of the adaptation process in Spain are
systematically presented in five chapters, introduced by real-life
histories of selected respondents drawn by the study's ethnographic
module. Systematic comparisons with results from the United States
show a number of surprising similarities in the adaptation of
children of immigrants in both countries, as well as differences
marked by contrasting experiences of discrimination,
self-identities, and ambition.
