Becoming an African Diaspora in Australia extends debates on
identities, cultures and notions of race and racism into new
directions as it analyses the forms of interactional identities of
African migrants in Australia. It de-naturalises the commonplace
assumptions and imaginations about the cultures and identities of
African diaspora communities, and probes the relevance and
usefulness of identity markers such as country of origin,
nationality, ethnicity, ethnic/heritage language and mother tongue.
Current cultural frames of identity representation have so far
failed to capture the complexities of everyday lived experiences of
transnational individuals and groups. Therefore by drawing on fresh
concepts and recent empirical evidence, this book invites the
reader to revisit and rethink the vocabularies that we use to look
at identity categories such as race, culture, language, ethnicity,
nationality, and citizenship, and introduces a new language nesting
model of diaspora identity. This book will be of great interest to
all students of migration, diaspora, African and Australian
studies.
