This book is about immigrant family dynamics and intergenerational relations. It goes beyond the simplistic tale of tradition-bound immigrant parents in conflict with their children and offers a more nuanced and complex view of the issue. It includes chapters on immigrant groups from all over the world who have settled in a variety of cities in the U.S. A central theme of the book is transnational families ??? when parents and children are apart across borders ??? and what happens when they reunite.
