This wave of massive immigration has led to a nationwide struggle with the need to become bicultural, a difficult and sometimes painful process of navigating between ethnic cultures. While some Latino adolescents become alienated and turn to antisocial behavior and substance use, others go on to excel in school, have successful careers, and build healthy families. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data ranging from surveys to extensive interviews with immigrant families, Becoming Bicultural explores the individual psychology, family dynamics, and societal messages behind bicultural development and sheds light on the factors that lead to positive or negative consequences for immigrant youth. Paul R. Smokowski and Martica Bacallao illuminate how immigrant families, and American communities in general, become bicultural and use their bicultural skills to succeed in their new surroundings The volume concludes by offering a model for intervention with immigrant teens and their families which enhances their bicultural skills.Assimilation (Sociology)United StatesHispanic AmericansMinority youthUnited StatesBiculturalismUnited StatesBecoming.Drawing.behind.bicultural.both.consequences.data.development.dynamics.explores.factors.family.immigrant.individual.lead.light.messages.negative.positive.psychology.qualitative.quantitative.sheds.societal.that.youth.Assimilation (Sociology)Hispanic Americans.Minority youthBiculturalism305.800973Smokowski Paul R.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1040173Bacallao Marticaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910822194203321Becoming Bicultural4127696UNINA
