An essential addition to any economics library, these five volumes present the contributions and writings of an influential and prolific scholar.
Warren J. Samuels is Professor of Economics at Michigan State University.
This book masterfully captures the stories of Mexican immigrants from the well-established communities in the Southwest as well as from newer communities in the Southeast. It documents a common voice of resiliency and hope and provides an insightful review of the challenges experienced by acculturating youth and their families as they pursue the American dream. A must read for practitioners and researchers interested in understanding the contemporary immigrant experience and its mental health implications.-Flavio F. Marsiglia, Arizona State University This is easily the best, and certainly the most empathic and insightful, treatment of the process of becoming bicultural in the United States that I have read. There is something for everyone in this book--researchers will find scientific evidence, clinicians will find insights to deepen their work, and all readers will find a teenager in its pages whose story will inform them and touch their hearts. Writing in a style that makes reading effortless, Smokowski and Bacallao render the bicultural experience accessible to all of us.-Luis H. Zayas, Washington University, St. Louis
