This insightful volume presents important new findings about
parenting and parent-child relationships in ethnic and racial
minority immigrant families. Prominent scholars in diverse fields
focus on families from a wide range of ethnicities settling in
Canada, China, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United
States. Each chapter discusses parenting and parent-child
relationships in a broader cultural context, presenting
within-group and cross-cultural data that provide readers
with a rich understanding of parental values, beliefs, and
practices that influence children’s developmental outcomes in a new
country. For example, topics of investigation include cultural
variation in the role of fathers, parenting of young children
across cultures, the socialization of academic and emotional
development, as well as the interrelationships among stress,
acculturation processes, and parent-child relationship dynamics.
