Using surveys of second generation immigrant adults inNew York and Los Angeles, this book explains why second generation experiencesdiffer across national origin groups andwhy immigrant offspring with same national background follow differenttrajectories.&#160; Inter-group disparitiesstem from contexts of both emigration and immigration.&#160; Diversityalso appears among immigrant offspring whose parents stem from the sameplace.&#160; Immigrant children grow up withhomeland connections, which can both hurt and help.&#160; Though all immigrants enter the U.S. asnon-citizens, some instantly enjoy legal presence, others spend years in theshadows; those at-entry differences yield long-term effects. Disentangling the sources of diversity among today’spopulation of immigrant offspring Originsand Destinations provides a new framework for understanding the secondgeneration that is transforming America.
