Growing Up Latino in the United States is the first comprehensive, integrative developmental textbook dedicated to the lives of Latinx children, adolescents, and families. Addressing a long-standing gap in developmental science, this groundbreaking volume centers the experiences of **Latinx Americans—the largest ethnic minority group in the United States—**whose developmental pathways have historically been overlooked or marginalized in traditional textbooks.Grounded in the latest empirical research, the book emphasizes the critical role of culture, context, and social systems in shaping development across childhood and adolescence. Moving beyond deficit-based perspectives, Growing Up Latino in the United States reflects the field’s shift toward integrative developmental models that account for migration, family dynamics, language, identity, education, and structural inequality. By weaving together theory, research, and real-world implications, this text provides an essential framework for understanding diverse developmental trajectories within Latinx communities.Ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in developmental psychology, education, sociology, social work, and ethnic studies, as well as for researchers and practitioners, this book redefines how development is taught, studied, and understood in the United States.

I really appreciate the authors' integrative approach to the study and understanding ofLatinx children and adolescents growing up in the U.S. In here, the authors reviewcentral developmental concepts (i.e., self-concept, peer relations, parenting practices)by centering the Latinx experience from a normative approach, which is a breath offresh air in the current developmental literature. The proposal moves between themicro and the macro context and factors that contribute to the multiple developmentaltrajectories that vary based on children's and adolescents' intersectional identities.
