Review Quotes

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
