Annotation

It is explored how language and culture (L&C) brokering (explaining L&C to others), affects the acculturative experiences and self-images of young adult Arab, Asian, and Latino American immigrants. The acquired increased sense of linguistic, cultural, and social processes is used for identity formation and transcultural skills. Both previous- to-immigration and novel-immigrant-setting experiences unequally form broker experiences in diverse ethnic groups.
