By exploring the experiences of immigrant families, particularly as they relate to assimilation and adaptation processes, the text provides information that is central to a better understanding of the migrant experience and its affect on family outcomes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Policymakers and academics alike will take interest in the questions this book addresses: \u003cbr\u003e * Does the fact that migrant offspring get involved in U.S. culture more quickly than their parents jeopardize the parents' effectiveness in preventing the development of antisocial behavior? \u003cbr\u003e * How does the change in culture and language affect the cognitive development of children and youth?\u003cbr\u003e * Does exposure to patterns of family organizations, so prevalent in the United States (cohabitation, divorce, nonmarital childbearing), decrease the stability of immigrant families? \u003cbr\u003e * Does the poverty facing many immigrant families lead to harsher and less supportive child-rearing practices?\u003cbr\u003e * What familial and extra-familial conditions promote \"resilience\" in immigrant parents and their children?\u003cbr\u003e * Does discrimination, coupled with the need for rapid adaption, create stress that erodes marital quality and the parent-child bond in immigrant families?\u003cbr\u003e * What policies enhance or impede immigrant family links to U.S. institutions?\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNancy Landale, Alan Booth, Ann C.
