    Book description

    The well-being and productivity of immigrant youth has become one of the most important global issues of our times as a result of mass migration and resettlement. In this unique volume, leading scholars from multiple nations and disciplines provide a state-of-the-art overview of contemporary research on immigrant youth and delineate the most promising future directions for research on their success, suggesting implications for policy and interventions that will benefit host societies as well as immigrant youth. The contributors to Realizing the Potential of Immigrant Youth include many of the leading international experts on migration, acculturation, intergroup issues and immigrant youth development, with contributions from the fields of child development, demography, economics, education, immigrant mental health, social psychology and sociology.

    Reviews

    "...Realizing the Potential of Immigrant Youth is a comprehensive volume, written and assembled by experts in the field and providing timely and important information regarding the status, demography, and life conditions of immigrant children in primary target countries in North America and Europe.... provides an excellent source of fundamental information for policy makers, educators,scientists, charitable service providers, immigration officials, law enforcement officials, and public health professionals. I would also highly recommend use of this volume for college courses in sociology and anthropology."
