Suárez-Orozco was co-director of the largest study in the history of the National Science Foundation’s Cultural Anthropology division-a comprehensive study of Asian, Afro-Caribbean and Latino immigrant youth in American Society. His most recent book, “Learning in a New Land: Immigrant Students in American Society” (Belknap Press, 2008), co-authored with Carola Suárez-Orozco and Irina Todorova, is based on an extraordinary study that followed 400 newly arrived children from the Caribbean, China, Central America and Mexico for five years. The book received the 2007 Virginia and Warren Stone Prize, awarded annually by Harvard University Press for an outstanding book on education and society.
