Brief description: Carola Suárez-Orozco is Professor of Human Development and Psychology and Co-Director of the Institute for Immigrant Children, Youth, and Families at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Review Quotes: This book addresses how immigrant children fare in America...What thought has American society given to the special needs of these students? Have we done anything to accommodate them? What have they experienced? The answers to these and many other questions are woven together with moving accounts of immigrant children. It is impossible to read this book without being moved. Highly recommended.--Sandra Isaacson "Library Journal" (3/1/2001 12:00:00 AM)
