Transformations: Immigration, Family Life, and Achievement Motivation among Latino Adolescents
by Carola and Marcelo Suárez-Orozco

This book was transformative in my understanding of Latino youth in the United States. It shed light on the cultural, social, and psychological processes taking place within Latino families as they navigate the new, complex world around them. Its rich methodological design allowed for an in-depth exploration of the acculturative process and its role in shaping Latino academic and psychosocial outcomes.
