Abstract Over the past decade the Journal of Family and Economic Issues (JFEI) has published 16 articles focused on racial/ethnic family and economic issues. In this review we have identified five themes among these papers: remittance attitudes and behaviors, marriage, parenting, educational attainment, family resource management, and financial attitudes and behaviors. Using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies with multiracial and race specific samples these papers have strived to add to the literature. While advancements have been made, we see the potential for future research that examines not only within and between racial/ethnic group differences but adds to our understanding of factors that drive these differences. We make recommendations for future research as we hope to see this work continue in JFEI.

Introduction As the racial and ethnic diversity of families in the United States continues to increase, so too does the interest in studying the unique experiences of these families.

Scholars have begun to recognize the heterogeneity within racial and ethnic groups and have pulled into question previous work that has aggregated individuals or families by race, which overlook This is one of several papers published together in Journal of Family and Economic Issues on the “Special Issue on Virtual Decade in Review”. * Roudi Nazarinia Roy [email protected] Anthony G.

important factors such as their socioeconomic and immigration status. The past decade has witnessed the publication of a fairly wide range of topics related to how various ethnic families approach financial issues. This work continues to be of importance because we understand that culture influences not only financial attitudes and behaviors, but also overall economic well-being. The general aim of the paper is to synthesize common themes that capture what can be learned from these papers while adding suggestions for future directions. In addition to a special section published in 2017 on ethnic minorities in America, the Journal of Family and Economic Issues (JFEI) has published seve
