Integrated overview of Asian American and Asian Canadian families, including an exploration of the historical and current immigration policies.
Experiences of families of East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian, and West Asian ancestry across Canada and the United States.
Asian religious traditions and worldviews, traditional practices, and religio-cultural views on gender, sexuality, and family.
Specific Asian immigrant groups on immigration demographics, family dynamics and relationships, gendered roles, parenting practices and beliefs, and implications for mental health.
Challenges and issues that families face as Asians and immigrants, the strength and resilience of families, with extensive reviews on various intervention and prevention programs.
Methodological strategies in investigating Asian families and their impact on the field.
Asian Families in Canada and the United States is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, graduate students as well as clinicians, professionals, and policymakers in the fields of developmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology, parenting and family studies, social work, and all interrelated disciplines.
