{"product_id":"across-generations-nancy-foner-9780814727706","title":"Across Generations: Immigrant Families in America","description":"\u003cp\u003eImmigrants and their American-born children represent about one quarter of the United States population. Drawing on rich, in-depth ethnographic research, the fascinating case studies in \u003cb\u003eAcross Generations\u003c\/b\u003e examine the intricacies of relations between the generations in a broad range of immigrant groups--from Latin America, Asia, the Caribbean, and Africa--and give a sense of what everyday life is like in immigrant families.\u003cbr\u003eMoving beyond the cliché of the children of immigrants engaging in pitched battles against tradition-bound parents from the old country, these vivid essays offer a nuanced view that brings out the ties that bind the generations as well as the tensions that divide them. Tackling key issues like parental discipline, marriage choices, educational and occupational expectations, legal status, and transnational family ties, \u003cb\u003eAcross Generations\u003c\/b\u003e brings crucial insights to our understanding of the United States as a nation of immigrants.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors: \u003c\/b\u003e Leisy Abrego, JoAnn D'Alisera, Joanna Dreby, Yen Le Espiritu, Greta Gilbertson, Nazli Kibria, Cecilia Menjívar, Jennifer E.
