-Immigration is a hot topic and last few years has seen more
researchers implementing ideas from immigration/acculturation
research in their work. -Classic Edition of one of the original
texts in the field, from expert researchers who offer a new
introduction documenting how the original work is relevant now and
what's changed in the field/where future research should go.
-Original research from an international team and based on data
from over 7,000 immigrant youth from diverse cultural backgrounds
living in 13 countries of settlement.

living in 13 countries of settlement.
In this book, an international team of psychologists with interests
in acculturation, identity, and development describe the experience
and adaptation of immigrant youth, using data from over 7,000
immigrant youth from diverse cultural backgrounds living in 13
countries of settlement. Immigrant Youth in Cultural Transition
explores the way in which immigrant adolescents carry out their
lives at the intersection of two cultures (those of their heritage
group and the national society), and how well these youth are
adapting to their intercultural experience. Four distinct patterns
are followed by youth during their acculturation: *an integration
pattern, in which youth orient themselves to, and identify with
both cultures; *an ethnic pattern, in which youth are oriented
mainly to their own group; *a national pattern, in which youth look
primarily to the national society; and *a diffuse pattern, in which
youth are uncertain and confused about how to live interculturally.
The study shows the variation in both the psychological adaptation
and the sociocultural adaptation among youth, with most adapting
well. This book is useful for professionals, researchers, graduate
students, and public policy makers who have an interest in
psychology, anthropology, sociology, demography, education, and
psychiatry. It is also a valuable resource for public,
governmental, and university libraries.

Published in cooperation with the Society for Research in Child
Development Most children, whether from majority or minority ethnic
groups, have contact with groups other than their own and must
learn to live with ethnic diversity. How do children respond to and
deal with the differences among groups, in both the observable
characteristics and in the less obvious values and norms? How do
children come to understand the meaning of their own and others'
ethnic group membership? How does the impact of ethnicity change
with development? These are some of the questions that this book
addresses. The aim of this edited volume is to provide an
integration of existing research and theory about the process by
which ethnicity affects children and the ways in which children
come to understand their own and others' ethnicity. Research in
this area contributes to the understanding of developmental
processes that shape children's self-concept and self-esteem, their
attitudes and behaviors toward their own and other groups, as well
as the way they are evaluated by others. Understanding such
processes may suggest methods of facilitating a child's personal
development and promoting positive cross-ethnic interactions. This
book is an excellent reference source for professionals working in
the areas of developmental psychology, education, social work, and
ethnic studies. "The development of child ethnic identity and
cognizance of ethnic difference is well covered in this collection
of seminal essays by psychologists and other professionals
concerned with ethnicity and its manifestations. . . . The
collection as a whole stresses the conclusions that ethnic group
differences have a significant impact on development, and that this
impact varies with the age of the child. . . . The collection will
serve as a basic source for investigators into childhood ethnicity.
. . .Upper-division undergraduates and above." --Choice "The book
will benefit therapists and researchers engaged with minority
populations. Teachers of developmental psychology and human
behavior would also find it useful." --Readings: A Journal of
Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health "Phinney and Rotheram
provide a valuable summary of ethnic differences along the
dimensions of group versus individual orientation; active versus
passive coping style; attitudes toward authority; and expressive
versus restrained communication. Readers will obtain some valuable
insights on children's ethnic attitudes and identification from
this book." --Contemporary Psychology
