The purpose of this book is to open a discourse on current and
pertinent issues related to multicultural populations by the most
noted experts and researchers in the field. This book offers an
overview of the literature on multicultural issues and assesses its
approach to the following issues: the stereotypic assumptions with
regard to filial piety and Asian American populations, substance
abuse within the Latino community, multicultural youth and elders,
refugee and immigrant populations as well as vulnerable populations
such as victims of political and sexual exploitation. The aim is to
provide a forum for educators in the field to present views
regarding important issues for which there is no other venue. They
are important for educators, practitioners, and students in the
field to consider and discuss. These will serve as springboards for
such discussion. Although references will be cited when
appropriate, these will be position papers rather than research
papers or reviews of the literature. This book was based on a
special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Diversity in
Social Work.

population will exceed the white adolescent population. This vital
book illustrates the diversity within the adolescent population,
examines the factors that serve as barriers and as facilitators to
development, and identifies strengths and protective factors
contributing to resilience as well as needs and risk factors.
