This book presents a comprehensive overview of Asian families
residing in Canada and the United States by portraying and
analyzing Asian Canadian and Asian American immigrant families in
an integrated yet nuanced way. Chapters use an interdisciplinary
approach to provide more comprehensive coverage of the vast
diversity as well as common trends and shared characteristics of
Asian families. Specifically, the volume examines the experiences
of families whose ancestry can be traced to East Asia, Southeast
Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. Key areas of coverage include:
Integrated overview of Asian American and Asian Canadian families,
including an exploration of the historical and current immigration
policies. Experiences of families of East Asian, Southeast Asian,
South Asian, and West Asian ancestry across Canada and the United
States. Asian religious traditions and worldviews, traditional
practices, and religio-cultural views on gender, sexuality, and
family. Specific Asian immigrant groups on immigration
demographics, family dynamics and relationships, gendered roles,
parenting practices and beliefs, and implications for mental
health. Challenges and issues that families face as Asians and
immigrants, the strength and resilience of families, with extensive
reviews on various intervention and prevention programs.
Methodological strategies in investigating Asian families and their
impact on the field. Asian Families in Canada and the United States
is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, graduate
students as well as clinicians, professionals, and policymakers in
the fields of developmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology,
parenting and family studies, social work, and all interrelated
disciplines.
This insightful volume presents important new findings about
parenting and parent-child relationships in ethnic and racial
minority immigrant families. Prominent scholars in diverse fields
focus on families from a wide range of ethnicities settling in
Canada, China, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United
States. Each chapter discusses parenting and parent-child
relationships in a broader cultural context, presenting
within-group and cross-cultural data that provide readers with a
rich understanding of parental values, beliefs, and practices that
influence children's developmental outcomes in a new country. For
example, topics of investigation include cultural variation in the
role of fathers, parenting of young children across cultures, the
socialization of academic and emotional development, as well as the
interrelationships among stress, acculturation processes, and
parent-child relationship dynamics. This timely reference: *
explores immigration and families from a global, multidisciplinary
perspective; * focuses on immigrant children and youth in the
family context;* challenges long-held assumptions about parenting
and immigrant families;* bridges the knowledge gap between
immigrant and non-immigrant family studies;* describes innovative
methodologies for studying immigrant family relationships; and*
establishes the relevance of these data to the wider family
literature. Parental Roles and Relationships in Immigrant Families
is not only useful to researchers and to family therapists and
social workers attending to immigrant families, but also highly
informative for persons interested in shaping immigration policy at
the local, national, and global levels.

Researchers recognize that theoretical frameworks and models of
child development and family dynamics have historically overlooked
the ways in which developmental processes are shaped by
socio-cultural contexts. Ecological and acculturation frameworks
are especially central to understanding the experiences of
immigrant populations, and current research has yielded new
conceptual and methodological tools for documenting the cultural
and developmental processes of children and their families. Within
this broad arena, a question of central importance is on how gender
roles in immigrant families play out in the lives of children and
families. Gender Roles in Immigrant Families places gender at the
forefront of the research by investigating how it interplays with
parental roles, parent-child relationships, and child outcomes.

This innovative book applies contemporary and emergent theories of
identity formation to timely questions of identity re/formation and
development in immigrant families across diverse ethnicities and
age groups. Researchers from across the globe examine the ways in
which immigrants from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America
dynamically adjust, adapt, and resist aspects of their identities
in their host countries as a form of resilience. The book provides
a multidisciplinary approach to studying the multidimensional
complexities of identity development and immigration and offers
critical insights on the experiences of immigrant families. Key
areas of coverage include: Factors that affect identity formation,
readjustment, and maintenance, including individual differences and
social environments. Influences of intersecting immigrant ecologies
such as family, community, and complex multidimensions of culture
on identity development. Current identity theories and their
effectiveness at addressing issues of ethnicity, culture, and
immigration. Research challenges to studying various forms of
identity. Re/Formation and Identity: The Intersectionality of
Development, Culture, and Immigration is an essential resource for
researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as
clinicians, professionals, and policymakers in the fields of
developmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology, parenting and
family studies, social work, and all interrelated disciplines.

Over the past several decades, the demographic populations of many
countries such as Canada as well as the United States have greatly
transformed. Most striking is the influx of recent immigrant
families into North America. As children lead the way for a "new"
North America, this group of children and youth is not a singular
homogenous group but rather, a mosaic and diverse ethnic, racial,
and cultural group. Thus, our current understanding of "normative
development" (covering social, psychological, cognitive, language,
academic, and behavioral development), which has been generally
based on middle-class Euro-American children, may not necessarily
be "optimal" development for all children. Researchers are widely
recognizing that the theoretical frameworks and models of child
development lack the sociocultural and ethnic sensitivities to the
ways in which developmental processes operate in an ecological
context. As researchers progress and develop promising forms of
methodological innovation to further our understanding of immigrant
children, little effort has been placed to collectively organize a
group of scholarly work in a coherent manner. Some researchers who
examine ethnic minority children tended to have ethnocentric
notions of normative development. Thus, some ethnic minority groups
are understood within a "deficit model" with a limited scope of
topics of interest. Moreover, few researchers have specifically
investigated the acculturation process for children and the
implications for cultural socialization of children by ethnic
group. This book represents a group of leading scholars'
cutting-edge research which will not only move our understanding
forward but also to open up new possibilities for research,
providing innovative methodologies in examining this complex and
dynamic group. Immigrant Children: Change, Adaptation, and Cultural
Transformation will also take the research lead in guiding our
current knowledge of how development is influenced by a variety of
sociocultural factors, placing future research in a better position
to probe inherent principles of child development. In sum, this
book will provide readers with a richer and more comprehensive
approach of how researchers, social service providers, and social
policymakers can examine children and immigration.

Over the past several decades, researchers as well as social
policymakers and educators have acknowledged the importance that
fathers play in their children's lives. A good deal of research on
fathering has been conducted among Euro-American families in North
America. However, our understanding of fathering across various
ethnic groups remains limited. Throughout Canada and the United
States, the immigrant population has been growing rapidly.
Currently, no book has delineated the field of immigrant fathering
from a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary perspective which
includes theory, research, and social policy. Researchers are
widely recognizing that the theoretical frameworks and models of
parenting, and more specifically, fathering, that were based on
Euro-American families may not be relevant to other ethnic groups.
As researchers refine theoretical and methodological approaches to
understand fathering within sociocultural contexts, they become
more cognizant of the varying meanings of parenting between and
within ethnic groups. On New Shores extends the understanding of
fathering in ethnic minority families and specifically focuses on
immigrant fathers_an area which has remained fairly unchartered.
The book provides readers with a richer and more comprehensive
approach to how researchers, practitioners, and social policymakers
can examine fathering among ethnic minority families.
