In Getting Used to the Quiet, Stacey Wilson-Forsberg looks at the integration experiences of immigrant adolescents in one small city and one rural town in New Brunswick's St John River Valley where the youths find no earlier immigrant communities with shared cultural backgrounds. Emphasizing themes including social capital, social networks, and citizen engagement, Wilson-Forsberg highlights the teens' gradual involvement in their new communities as they confront the challenges of dealing with an unfamiliar environment, learning a new language, and reaching out to their New Brunswick-born peers. In-depth interviews with over thirty teens give readers new insights into the integration process. Focusing on a crucial and underexplored area of immigration studies, Getting Used to the Quiet is a valuable resource for understanding the ways in which newcomers join unfamiliar communities and how the communities, in turn, respond to their presence. 606 $aImmigrants$xCultural assimilation$zNew Brunswick 606 $aTeenage immigrants$xServices for$zNew Brunswick 606 $aTeenage immigrants$zNew Brunswick$vInterviews 606 $aTeenage immigrants$zNew Brunswick$xSocial conditions 615 0$aImmigrants$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aTeenage immigrants$xServices for 615 0$aTeenage immigrants 615 0$aTeenage immigrants$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.23086 700 $aWilson-Forsberg$b Stacey$f1972-$01506981 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785509103321 996 $aGetting used to the quiet$93737420 997 $aUNINA
