Issues and Challenges of Immigration in Early Childhood in the USA cover

Presents an overview of immigration experience from the perspective of young children and their families and its implications for early childhood policy and education practices.

Based on new research, this book offers insights into the reality of immigration and its sociocultural impact with a focus on the experience of young children and their families coming to the USA. Wilma Robles-Melendez and Wayne Driscoll discuss immigration realities and their social and educational implications and review the current literature on studies and reports about immigration. They also provide insights and experiences of young immigrant children and their families with a focus on the USA and offer recommendations for early childhood practice for programs serving young immigrant children. The key subjects addressed include socially just practices, developmentally based programs, services for young children and families with diverse and cultural backgrounds. Immigration in the USA is discussed here as part of the global crisis in immigration and the lessons learned will be vital for educators, researchers and policy makers around the world.

This book is a timely and necessary exploration of a critical global phenomenon, that of immigration. It locates this within a strong basis of social justice and equity, using highly topical and current sources. Well worth the read. * Babs Anderson, Liverpool Hope University, UK *
