Immigrant Families

Immigrants built the United States and continue to enrich us, and yet newcomers do not always feel welcome in their communities. This book explores the past and present of immigrant families. In particular, it looks at the challenges that young people experience when they grow up in a culture that is very different from that of their parents. "What is a family?" What used to seem like a simple question has grown ever more complex. This set explores the different types of family structures that have become increasingly common in the 21st century. The books offer not only objective demographic information, but also friendly; accessible advice for kids with "nontraditional" families.
