Description: "Now in the midst of the largest wave of immigration in history, with the vast majority of these immigrants coming from Asia, the Caribbean, and Central and Latin America, the United States is once again facing a future in which new arrivals will shape the character of the nation. At the center of this prospect are the children of immigrants, who make up one-fifth of America's youth.

In two generations nearly half the population will be "people of color," the children and grandchildren of today's immigrants. This book, written by the co-directors of the largest ongoing longitudinal study of immigrant children and their families, offers a clear, broad, interdisciplinary view of who these children are and what their future might hold."--BOOK JACKET.
