Children of migration often grow up with opportunities their parents could only dream of. Yet alongside those opportunities comes a quiet complexity that is rarely acknowledged.
Too foreign to feel fully accepted in one place, yet sometimes considered too Western in another, many find themselves navigating two cultures, two sets of expectations, and two different ideas of who they should be.
In The In-Between Generation, A.M. Hartley explores the unique experiences of those raised between cultures. From identity, language, family expectations, and belonging to education, friendships, and the pressures of balancing different worlds, this book examines the challenges and strengths that shape the lives of second-generation migrants.
Thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in research, lived experience, and reflection, this book offers insight not only for those who have lived this reality, but also for parents, educators, professionals, and anyone seeking to better understand the lasting impact of migration across generations.
Because migration does not end with those who leave home. Its story continues in the generations that follow.
