In Latino-Hispanic Liaisons and Visions for Human Behavior in the Social Environment, you’ll find chapters examining:
- the social ecology of Mexican-American child development
- caregiver well-being among Cuban and Puerto Rican mothers of mentally retarded adults
- the adjustment process among Cuban refugee families
- one Southwestern community’s efforts to create a multiethnic neighborhood coalition against substance abuse
- a study of changes related to migration, family, and work in Caribbean women’s lives
- and much more!
