This is a ground-breaking research study on Black immigrant
identities in South African schools. It is the first major book on
racial integration and immigrant children in South African schools.
The overall aim of this study is to investigate how immigrant
students negotiate and mediate their identity within the South
African schooling context. This study set out to explain this
complex phenomenon, guided by the following research objectives:
One, to describe how immigrant student identities are framed,
challenged, asserted and negotiated within the institutional
cultures of schools. Two, to evaluate the extent to which the ethos
of these schools has been transformed towards integration in the
truest sense and to determine how immigrant students perceive this
in practice? Three, to explore the `transnational social fields' in
terms of social networks and cross-border linkages of immigrant
students and how this impacts on their identity formation. Four, to
determine if there are any new forms of immigrant student
self-identities that are beginning to emerge? Five, to determine
the extent to which racial desegregation has been accompanied by
social integration between immigrant and local students. Six, to
determine the impact of the South African social/schooling context
on immigrant student identity formation. And seven, to identify
critical lessons and `good practice' that could be learnt and used
to accelerate the racial desegregation and social integration of
immigrant students in South African schools.
