About this title

Synopsis

"Explores migration between the US and Mexico and focuses on the differences among adolescent groups. The authors analyze four populations (native Mexican, native North Americans, first generation Latino immigrants, and second generation immigrants) and begin to unravel the difficult issues of cultural differences, social identity, family structure, and personal reasons for migrating"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/

From the Back Cover

“While Transformations focuses on Mexicans in California, the authors place their study in a much wider context—the global context. This perspective is on of the book’s most insightful features. . . . The information presented provokes educators, researchers and policymakers to take a hard look at how we are educating immigrant children.”—Harvard Educational Review
