Author Yasmin Mansy makes her literary debut with an autobiographical account of her experiences growing up as the daughter of an Iraqi-Chaldean immigrant father and a Lebanese-Maronite immigrant mother working tirelessly to create a new life in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. during the 1960's and 1970's. From her personal accounts of rape, abuse and discrimination to her recollections of distant lands and emotional triumphs, Immigrant's Daughters captures the very essence of the American dream. Her story reaches through to the reader in a way that people everywhere will relate to and take interest in. It is written in simple words with powerful messages that reach out of the pages to grab and hold the reader's attention from start to finish. Her experience is a unique one; yet one that is so relative to humanity that it will undoubtedly change the lives of its readers. It is pro-American, Middle-East influenced reality that people of all cultures will find comfort in. Immigrant's Daughters appeals to the increasingly popular immigrant saga, while presenting the juxtaposition between the secure, individualistic life of American culture and the oppressive, honor-driven lifestyles of such places as the Middle East, Africa and Asia. It differs from most mainstream accounts however, in that Immigrant's Daughters presents the story of a Catholic Iraqi/Lebanese family; and gives the reader a glimpse into a culture in which the United States has been heavily engaged since 2001. It addresses the racial climate of 1960's America and the faith necessary to overcome it with Yasmin's firsthand account as an elementary school student whose nickname was "nigger." This work presents a unique look at a Middle Eastern intercultural marriage, the lives of Catholic Arabs, and their struggles and triumphs as immigrants to the United States during a time of racial tension and sexual liberation. Immigrant's Daughters is a testament to all those who long for a better life, and offers incredible words of encouragement to those who find themselves in similar situations.

Mary Terzian was born in Cairo to Armenian parents, refugees of the 1915 genocide. She lived and worked in Egypt, Congo, Togo and Lebanon before immigrating to the United States. Her memoirs of life in 1940s Cairo, seasoned with wit, portray struggles to safeguard her inner self, thwarting parents' obstinate adherence to outdated traditions. Willpower, perseverance, and self-confidence gained through education help her break conventional rules to bloom on her own.--From publisher description.

Immigrant children and youth are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, and so their prospects bear heavily on the well-being of the country. Children of Immigrants represents some of the very best and most extensive research efforts to date on the circumstances, health, and development of children in immigrant families and the delivery of health and social services to these children and their families. This book presents new, detailed analyses of more than a dozen existing datasets that constitute a large share of the national system for monitoring the health and well-being of the U.S. population. Prior to these new analyses, few of these datasets had been used to assess the circumstances of children in immigrant families. The analyses enormously expand the available knowledge about the physical and mental health status and risk behaviors, educational experiences and outcomes, and socioeconomic and demographic circumstances of first- and second-generation immigrant children, compared with children with U.S.-born parents.

The United States is an immigrant nation—nowhere is the truth of this statement more evident than in its major cities. Immigrants and their children comprise nearly three-fifths of New York City's population and even more of Miami and Los Angeles. But the United States is also a nation with entrenched racial divisions that are being complicated by the arrival of newcomers. While immigrant parents may often fear that their children will "disappear" into American mainstream society, leaving behind their ethnic ties, many experts fear that they won't—evolving instead into a permanent unassimilated and underemployed underclass. Inheriting the City confronts these fears with evidence, reporting the results of a major study examining the social, cultural, political, and economic lives of today's second generation in metropolitan New York, and showing how they fare relative to their first-generation parents and native-stock counterparts. Focused on New York but providing lessons for metropolitan areas across the country, Inheriting the City is a comprehensive analysis of how mass immigration is transforming life in America's largest metropolitan area. The authors studied the young adult offspring of West Indian, Chinese, Dominican, South American, and Russian Jewish immigrants and compared them to blacks, whites, and Puerto Ricans with native-born parents. They find that today's second generation is generally faring better than their parents, with Chinese and Russian Jewish young adults achieving the greatest education and economic advancement, beyond their first-generation parents and even beyond their native-white peers. Every second-generation group is doing at least marginally—and, in many cases, significantly—better than natives of the same racial group across several domains of life. Economically, each second-generation group earns as much or more than its native-born comparison group, especially African Americans and Puerto Ricans, who experience the most persistent disadvantage. Inheriting the City shows the children of immigrants can often take advantage of policies and programs that were designed for native-born minorities in the wake of the civil rights era. Indeed, the ability to choose elements from both immigrant and native-born cultures has produced, the authors argue, a second-generation advantage that catalyzes both upward mobility and an evolution of mainstream American culture. Inheriting the City leads the chorus of recent research indicating that we need not fear an immigrant underclass. Although racial discrimination and economic exclusion persist to varying degrees across all the groups studied, this absorbing book shows that the new generation is also beginning to ease the intransigence of U.S. racial categories. Adapting elements from their parents' cultures as well as from their native-born peers, the children of immigrants are not only transforming the American city but also what it means to be American.
