Immigrants significantly contribute to the ever-expanding diversity
of the populations of the countries they reside in, and they bring
a wide array of cultural values, norms, and practices that help to
make each country unique. The immigrant experience is
multidimensional, consisting of at least one and sometimes multiple
geographical relocations, and the various socio-economic, cultural,
and psychological challenges that are encountered en route. In this
volume, the authors provide insights regarding the multidimensional
immigrant experience in different countries around the world. The
heterogeneity of immigrant populations in various countries is
highlighted in several chapters, and the importance of perceptions
on our treatment of immigrants and how it affects the immigrants'
experience is underscored. Several contributions examine the
psychological stressors immigrants face, how these stressors affect
their mental health status, and how to ameliorate these problems. A
number of chapters discuss educational and socio-economic policies
that affect immigrants and how to improve upon them. The common
theme amongst the contributions in this volume centre on how to
improve upon the immigrants' social, cultural, and psychological
experience and to provide them with the tools they need to become
healthy, integrated, and involved members of their new host
country. This volume is an important step to help inform
professionals and laymen alike on how we can support our immigrant
populations and help them to break down the barriers they encounter
in their migration.
