Acknowledgments
Many thanks to my wonderful parents, who immigrated to Canada, for their endless
love and support. Many thanks also to my family in both Canada and the United
States.
Susan S. Chuang
We are grateful to the hundreds of mothers, fathers, and children who have partici-
pated in our research over the years, as well as the research of the many scholars
represented in this book. Without their willingness to share their experiences, this
volume would not have been possible.
Catherine S. Tamis-LeMonda
To immigrant mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons from around the world who
have allowed us to gain great insight into immigrant families.
