Description: This is perhaps the first book to deal with the impact of migration on family relations and child development. It also considers the policies that enhance or impede family links to U.S. institutions. Although there is extensive literature on migration, most of it focuses on the economic success of the migrants. The chapters in this book address questions central to understanding the migrant experience and immigration policy.
