Youth in Superdiverse Societies brings together theoretical,
methodological and international approaches to the study of
globalization, diversity, and acculturation in adolescence. It
examines vital issues including migration, integration, cultural
identities, ethnic minorities, and the interplay of ethnic and
cultural diversity with experiences of growing up as an adolescent.
This important volume focuses on understanding the experiences and
consequences of multicultural societies and offers valuable new
insights in the field of intergroup relations and the complexity of
growingly heterogeneous societies. The book comprises four
sections. The first includes fresh theoretical perspectives for
studying youth development in multicultural societies, exploring
topics such as superdiversity, globalization, bicultural identity
development, polyculturalism, the interplay of acculturation and
development, as well as developmental-ecological approaches. The
second section highlights innovative methods in studying
multicultural societies. It contains innovative dynamic concepts
(e.g., experience-based sampling), methods for studying the nested
structure of acculturative contexts, and suggestions for
cross-comparative research to differentiate universal and
context-specific processes. The third section examines social
relations and social networks in diverse societies and features
developmentally crucial contexts (e.g., family, peers, schools) and
contributions on interethnic interactions in real-life contexts.
The final section presents applications in natural settings and
includes contributions on participatory action research and
teachers dealings' with ethnic diversity. Each chapter provides a
thorough overview of current research trends and findings, followed
by detailed recommendations for future research, suggesting how the
approaches can be cited, applied and improved. Youth in
Superdiverse Societies is valuable reading for students studying
adolescent acculturation and development in psychology, sociology,
education, anthropology, linguistics and political science. It will
also be of interest to scholars and researchers in social and
developmental psychology, and related disciplines, as well as
professionals in the field of migration.
Diaspora or 'ethnic return' migrants have often been privileged in
terms of citizenship and material support when they seek to return
to their ancestral land, yet for many, after long periods of
absence - sometimes extending to generations - acculturation to
their new environment is as complex as that experienced by other
immigrant groups. Indeed, the mismatch between the idealized hopes
of the returning migrants and the high expectations for social
integration by the new host country results in particular
difficulties of adaptation for this group of immigrants, often with
high societal costs. This interdisciplinary, comparative volume
examines migration from German and Jewish Diasporas to Germany and
Israel, examining the roles of origin, ethnicity, and destination
in the acculturation and adaptation of immigrants. The book
presents results from various projects within a large research
consortium that compared the adaptation of Diaspora immigrants with
that of other immigrant groups and natives in Israel and Germany.
With close attention to specific issues relating to Diaspora
immigration, including language acquisition, acculturation
strategies, violence and 'breaches with the past', educational and
occupational opportunities, life course transitions and preparation
for moving between countries, The Challenges of Diaspora Migration
will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests
in migration and ethnicity, Diaspora and return migration.
