In the United States, most of the attention is on the stream of Mexicans crossing the border in such numbers that early in the next century Latinos are expected to surpass African Americans as the largest minority group. This book focuses on key aspects of the problem, including the puzzling differences between Mexico-born adolescents and adolescents born in the United States. Whereas Mexico-born adolescents are highly motivated to learn English and use the educational system to improve their lot, US-born adolescents seem angry, frustrated, and less interested in academic achievement. In a psychological and cultural study of four groups of adolescents this study seeks to account for this difference.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49862800015633,"sku":"CIN0804725519G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50963439124753,"sku":"CIN0804725519VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804725519.jpg?v=1751296213"},{"product_id":"children-of-immigration-book-carola-suarez-orozco-9780674004924","title":"Children of Immigration","description":"In the midst of the largest wave of immigration in history, America is once again contemplating a future in which new arrivals will play a crucial role in reworking the fabric of the nation.

As a consequence, immigration has emerged once again as a subject of scholarly inquiry and policy debate. This volume brings together the dominant conceptual and theoretical work on the New Immigration from such disparate disciplines as anthropology, demography, psychology, and sociology. Immigration today is a global and transnational phenomenon that affects every region of the world with unprecedented force. Although this volume is devoted to scholarly work on the new immigration in the U.S. setting, any of the broader conceptual issues covered here also apply to other post-industrial countries such as France, Germany, and Japan.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50333116367121,"sku":"CIN0415949165G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415949165.jpg?v=1751039484"},{"product_id":"learning-in-a-new-land-book-carola-suarez-orozco-9780674026759","title":"Learning in a New Land","description":"One child in five in America is the child of immigrants, and their numbers increase each year. Very few will return to the country they barely remember. Who are they, and what America do they know?Based on an extraordinary interdisciplinary study that followed 400 newly arrived children from the Caribbean, China, Central America, and Mexico for five years, this book provides a compelling account of the lives, dreams, and frustrations of these youngest immigrants. Richly told portraits of high and low achievers are packed with unexpected ironies. When they arrive, most children are full of optimism and a respect for education. But poor neighbourhoods and dull - often dangerous - schools can corrode hopes. The vast majority learn English - but it is the English of video games and the neighbourhood, not that of standardized tests.For some of these children, those heading off to college, America promises to be a land of dreams. These lucky ones have often benefited from caring mentors, supportive teachers, or savvy parents. For others, the first five years are marked by disappointments, frustrations, and disenchantment. How can we explain their varied academic journeys? The children of immigrants, here to stay, are the future - and how they adapt will determine the nature of America in the twenty-first century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52984627921169,"sku":"CIN0674026756G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53003475222801,"sku":"CIN0674026756VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53403400438033,"sku":"GOR009244314","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780674026759.jpg?v=1767208699"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-carola-suarez-orozco.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
