The Other African Americans cover

This book explores the experiences of Caribbean and African immigrants in the U.S., addressing their challenges and contributions to society. The Other African Americans offers valuable insights.

Despite their growing presence, research on Caribbean and African immigrants has been limited. The Other African Americans provides both historical and contemporary insights into the lives of African and Caribbean individuals and families. Each chapter focuses on specific topics that highlight the most pressing issues these immigrants face in the United States today.

As America’s black population becomes increasingly diverse, the role of Caribbean and African immigrants is more significant than ever. The Other African Americans aims to enhance our understanding of these communities by examining the evolving dynamics within African American society as new immigrants integrate into the fabric of American life. The book presents a collection of original research that sheds light on the experiences and challenges encountered by these populations.

This edited volume not only addresses the complexities of identity and belonging but also emphasizes the importance of recognizing the contributions of African and Caribbean immigrants to American society. By discussing various topical areas, The Other African Americans serves as an essential resource for anyone interested in the intricate narratives of these immigrant groups and the broader implications for race and community in the U.S.

This volume of original research provides historical and contemporary information by comparing US-born African Americans with Caribbean and African blacks now living in the US. Summing Up: Recommended. * CHOICE, March 2008 *
A fine volume of work that enriches our understanding of the rapidly diversifying black community in the United States. * Contemporary Sociology *
