{"product_id":"black-immigrants-in-the-united-states","title":"Black Immigrants in the United States","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the United States, ‘immigrant’ is a complicated category. It is used interchangeably with ‘refugee’ and it is, most of the time, linked to South America, especially Latina\/os. \u003ci\u003eBlack Immigrants in the United States \u003c\/i\u003eis arguing that \u003ci\u003eimmigrants are not refugees\u003c\/i\u003e and, whether coming from the Caribbean, Latin America or Africa, Black immigrants are oft-silenced in immigration studies and unsystematically researched. Being one of the first books on the topic in the United States, \u003cem\u003eBlack Immigrants in the United States\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eis a crack, a verse in the syntax which links Blackness and immigration; a required reading for anyone who is interested in immigration generally and Black immigration in particular. For example, did you know that 12-13% of the statistically defined as African Americans are ‘Black immigrants’ (both immigrants and refugees) (Ogunipe, 2011)? Out of this 12-13%, did you know the first and second-generation constitute 41% of Black first-year students in Ivy League? \u003cem\u003eBlack Immigrants in the United States\u003c\/em\u003e is an attempt to answer these questions and paint a picture for this population, where they come from, what languages and histories they bring with them to the United States, and discusses their challenges as well as their triumphs. With this book, as children of migration ourselves, we are turning researching and writing about Black immigrants into acts of love and reading about them into an expression of \u003ci\u003ejouissance\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Publishing Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54224974741848,"sku":"9781433173967","price":97.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781433173967.jpg?v=1764784843","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/black-immigrants-in-the-united-states","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
