Description: "Social-cultural developments within the U.S. in the last decade have witnessed the emergence of two distinct and yet potentially beneficial trends: the influx of immigrant and refugee youth and the popularity of youth development as a paradigm and field of practice. Social Work Practice with Refugee and Immigrant Youth in the United States puts the newcomer experience into context and provides a guide for social workers developing interventions using a youth development paradigm."--Jacket.
