Item Latino Fathers’ Experiences of Parenting in the Context of Immigration(2010) Hernandez, Cindy; Roy, Kevin; Vesely, Colleen; Fitzgerald, MeganThis is a qualitative study that explores how the immigration experiences of Latino fathers shape their parenting practices. For the purpose of this study, 19 life long story interviews of Mexican, Mexican American, Puerto Rican fathers were collected by a case manager researcher. The interviews were analyzed using three waves of coding: open, axial, and selective. Four narrative themes gave meaning to the fathers’ immigration experiences and involvement with their children: turning point, immigration, role models, and partnering and parenting practices.
