![]() | Beyond Expectations: Second-Generation Nigerians in the United States and Britain Subjects: Nigerians -- United States -- Social conditions; Nigerians -- Great Britain -- Social conditions; Children of immigrants -- United States -- Social conditions; Children of immigrants -- Great Britain -- Social conditions; In Beyond Expectations, Onoso Imoagene delves into the multifaceted identities of second-generation Nigerian adults in the United States and Britain. She argues that they conceive of an alternative notion of "black" identity that differs radically from African American and Black Caribbean notions of "black" in the United States and Britain. Instead of considering themselves in terms of their country of destination alone, second-generation Nigerians define themselves in complicated ways that balance racial status, a diasporic Nigerian ethnicity, a pan-African identity, and identification with fellow immigrants. Imoagene Onoso : Onoso Imoagene is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. |
