ABSTRACT
Family continues to play a meaningful role in the immigration process (Cooke, 2008). The number of years of residence in the host country and the era in which the individual immigrated may influence the involvement and attachment to family in one’s life (Bowen, 1978; Dallos & Vetere, 2014; Sodhi, 2015). This chapter will present an overview of the following family-related themes: gender roles; family dynamics; cultural preservation, intergenerational communication, and language transmission; academic and professional expectations; intergenerational conflict; and interpersonal relationships.
