Description
Fast growing in population, African immigrants in the United States have become a significant force, to the point that the idea of a new African diaspora is now a reality. This thriving community has opened new arenas for scholary discourse on Black Atlantic history beyond the transatlantic slave trade and its legacies. This book investigates the complex dynamic forces that have shaped, and continue to shape, this new diaspora. In eleven original essays, the volume examines pertinent themes, such as immigration, integration dilemmas, identity construction, brain drain, remittances, and expanding African religious space and how these dynamics impact and intersect with the African homeland. With contributors from both sides of the Atlantic that represent a diverse range of academic disciplines, this book offers a broad perspective on emerging themes in contemporary African Diasporan experiences. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of African and African American Studies, Sociology, and History. -- Provided by publisher.
