Globalization and dynamic transnational migrations are bringing remarkable demographic differences to Europe and the United States. Transnational immigration flows from Eastern Europe, Africa and elsewhere are creating economical and educational inequities that are forcing EU nation- states to reflect on these differences and imagine solutions. Immigrants bring cultural practices, forms of art, and perspectives on all aspects of human experience that transform and enrich the cultures of host countries. Dichotomies between natives and newcomers emerge, as well as new forms of identities and distinctions between them and us . In addition, schools are not prepared to educate diverse children with varied educational backgrounds and languages. Societal inequities cannot be understood in isolation but rather need to be understood from a global perspective. This book gathers researchers from across the globe to examine paradigms, policies, and practices for developing an inclusive intercultural and transnational framework to reduce inequities. This is necessary to positively integrate culturally-diverse families, children and adolescents into schools and societies.

Reviews for Living in Two Homes: Integration, Identity and Education of Transnational Migrants in a Globalized World
Researchers from Europe, Australia, the US, Canada, and Japan provide 11 case studies on the inclusion, integration, and education of multi-ethnic people in host communities and countries, their transformative identity, and the psychological impact of these mobilizations. They discuss integration issues related to second-generation Mexican immigrants to the US, German-Turkish entrepreneurs in multi-ethnic neighborhoods in Berlin, immigrants and trade unions in Italy, and immigration policy toward Italian and other populations in Australia; identity in terms of the social construction of ethnic identity among young Kurdish immigrants in Turkey, young immigrants in Norway, Brazilian immigrants in different parts of the world, and young immigrants from Iran and the former Yugoslavia in Sweden; and education challenges, such as in Italy and at Canadian universities.
