Africans in America come from different regions of the continent;
they speak different languages and are from different faith
traditions. Nigerian Immigrants in the United States: Race,
Identity, and Acculturation attempts to generate an interest in the
study of African immigrants by looking at issues of settlement and
adjustment of Nigerians in the United States. The literature is
scanty about this group of immigrants and little is known about
their motivations for moving to the United States and the issues
that they face. The book therefore seeks to contribute to the
immigration literature and knowledge base as well as document the
African narrative showing the flight of Nigerians to the United
States. The book further seeks to shine a light on the lives of
these transplants as they settle into a new society. It describes
those Nigerians who decided on their own to live permanently in the
United States, reviewing the social circumstances and behaviors of
immigrants from Nigeria, and noting the stress that affects
successful integration and adjustment. The book explores the
factors that contribute to the adaptation and integration of
Nigerian immigrants living in some metropolitan areas of the United
States and asks: how do the immigrants themselves interpret their
experiences in a new society? In an attempt to answer this
question, others are generated such as: Who are these Nigerians
that have left their homeland? What has been their experience and
how has this experience shaped them and their understanding of the
immigration process? Lastly, it asks what we can learn from this
experience. Employing the study of this population through the
method of phenomenology, Nigerian Immigrants in the United States
leads the reader to understand the experience of being different in
America from the immigrants' perspectives and to see the experience
through their eyes. Those who work with Nigerian immigrants will
find this book insightful and revealing.
