The United States is known as a nation of immigrants. Over the
years the composition of immigrants has significantly changed. From
receiving immigrants from primarily Europe, the United States is
now home to people from countries around the globe. One of the
common challenges encountered by immigrant and refugee families and
youth is to successfully resettle and integrate into the host
country that is culturally different from their country of origin.
Depending on the context of migration, families and youth
oftentimes face additional challenges ranging from potential trauma
prior to immigration, language, employment, education, healthcare
accessibility, integration, discrimination, etc. This book focuses
on different issues experienced by immigrant and refugee families
and youth as well as programs implemented to serve these
populations. These issues pertain to the individual at a personal
level (attachment, trauma, bi-cultural self-efficacy, behavioral
problems, and mental health), family (parenting, work-family
conflict, problems such as domestic violence), community (risk
factors such as racial discrimination and protective factors such
as social capital) and policy (immigration policy and enforcement).
Part I of the book focuses on immigrant and refugee families and
Part II focuses on immigrant and refugee youth. By increasing our
awareness of issues pertinent to immigrant and refugee families and
youth, we can better provide culturally respectful and sensitive
services and policy to this population at a time when they are
navigating between their host culture and home culture in addition
to dealing with challenges encountered in resettlement. The book is
a significant new contribution to migration studies and social
justice, and will be a great resource for academics, researchers,
and advanced students of social work, public policy, law and
sociology. The chapters in this book were originally published in
the Journal of Ethic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work.
