Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data ranging from surveys to extensive interviews with immigrant families, Becoming B...

Handbook of Asian American Psychology
With the landmark publication of the Handbook of Asian American Psychology, professionals, students, and researchers now have a handy reference on topics that are germane to the understanding of Asian Americans. In recent years, the Asian American population has seen an explosion not only in size but also in diversity. As a result, the research and literature has reflected this explosion with a mass of new material presented in various journals on different Asian American subgroups.
