What does it mean to be African-Canadian? The African Diaspora in
Canada addresses the conceptual difficulties and political
contestations surrounding the term "African--Canadian." In the
midst of this fraught terrain, it focuses on first--generation,
black continental Africans who have immigrated in the past four
decades. In highlighting their experiences, this book addresses the
empirical, conceptual, and methodological gaps that homogenize all
black people and their experiences. Rooted in specific experiences,
this book examines the social constructions of African--Canadians,
their experiences within the political and education systems, and
with the labour market. It explores the forms of cooperation and
tension that characterize African--Canadian communities, and how
multiple transnational spaces are negotiated and occupied. The book
also explores the circumstances of children, as they try to define
their identities vis--A--vis their parents and the larger Canadian
society.
