Abstract
The focus of this article is on youth identity with emphasis on the alienation of the transient youth: transethnically socialised adolescents, their mental health and development in the pluralist society of the United States of America. Implicit ramifications of this exploratory study involve the interface of three complex phenomena: new ethnicity, youth alienation, and human development. This framework posits adolescent mental health in a theoretical context that transcends the functionalist approach to assimilation and human growth. This analysis seeks to unravel alienation, conflict and development as a dynamic process of adaptation. It is primarily based on observations of, and interactions with, Indo-American youths and their experiences. The study unfolds a fascinating area of research and the profile of a new generation that is striving for authenticity with courage and convictions.
