Acculturation is the process through which ethnic minority youth integrate into the dominant culture. It encompasses various aspects, including psychological well-being and academic performance. Family and school are the primary contexts in which acculturation occurs for minority youth. The primary objective of this book is to offer comprehensive insights into the challenges faced by minority students, their parents, and teachers during the acculturation process. It also aims to illustrate the interplay between school and family-related factors that influence the school adjustment of minority youths.

Research teams from Germany, Hungary, Israel, Russia, Switzerland, and the United States have contributed empirical studies on acculturation and school adjustment of minority students in schools in their respective countries. The book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Intercultural Education.
