Books by Carola Suarez-Orozco

This book, written by the codirectors of the largest ongoing longitudinal study of immigrant children and their families, offers a clear, broad, interdisciplinary view of who the immigrant children are and what their future might hold.

One child in five in America is a child of immigrants, and their numbers increase each year. Based on an interdisciplinary study that followed 400 newly arrived children from the Caribbean, China, Central America, and Mexico for five years, this book details the lives, dreams, academic journeys, and frustrations of these youngest immigrants.
