This open access wide-ranging collation of papers examines a host
of issues in studying second-generation immigrants, their life
courses, and their relations with older generations. Tightly
focused on methodological aspects, both quantitative and
qualitative, the volume features the work of authors from numerous
countries, from differing disciplines, and approaches. A key
addition in a corpus of literature which has until now been
restricted to studying the childhood, adolescence and youth of the
children of immigrants, the material includes analysis of
longitudinal and transnational efforts to address challenges such
as defining the population to be studied, and the difficulties of
follow-up research that spans both time and geographic space. In
addition to perceptive reviews of extant literature, chapters also
detail work in surveying the children of immigrants in Europe, the
USA, and elsewhere. Authors address key questions such as the
complexities of surveying each generation in families where parents
have migrated and left children in their country of origin, and the
epistemological advances in methodology which now challenge
assumptions based on the Westphalian nation-state paradigm. The
book is in part an outgrowth of temporal factors (immigrants'
children are now reaching adulthood in more significant numbers),
but also reflects the added sophistication and sensitivity of
social science surveys. In linking theoretical and methodological
factors, it shows just how much the study of these second
generations, and their families, can be enriched by evolving
methodologies. This book is open access under a CC BY license
