Today, African immigrants constitute a growing and increasingly
visible component of the US population. African Immigrants in the
United States: The Gendering Significance of Race? takes a closer
look at the growth of African immigration to the United States in
recent decades, as well as implications of this growth. Mamadi
Corra highlights several resulting sociodemographic processes
underway, including the changing composition of the foreign-born
and US Black populations. Corra also takes a closer look at
sociodemographic profiles of these "new African Americans" or "new
Americans," highlighting the increasing diversity, yet also the
racialized portrait of this group of immigrants. Key patterns
discussed include the shifting racial and gender composition of
immigrants, with a growing proportion of "Black" and female African
immigrants on one hand and a decreasing proportion of "White" and
male immigrants on the other hand. The book also compares
socioeconomic profiles of African immigrants with other immigrant
groups, as well as native-American subgroups. Taken together, Corra
discovers that the salience of race that is mediated by gender.
