For many African youth, questions of identity are pressing concerns. Many who were born in but raised outside of their country of origin, known as one-point-five immigrants, and their second-generation counterparts, often find themselves in the center of several conflicting cultures. These youth are often challenged in their ability to negotiate and reconcile the varying expectations of their racial and ethnic groups. While living in multiple, cultural worlds is the experiences of many minority youth, it is uniquely challenging for Black immigrant youth as both their blackness and immigrant background make negotiating their racial and ethnic identities more challenging, than non-black and non-immigrant minority youth. Using the case study methodology, this dissertation explores the manner in which eleven, one-point-five and second generation Nigerian college students construct and negotiate their racial and ethnic identities. The research is guided by four broad research questions: (1) How do one-point-five and second generation Nigerian college students describe and experience their interactions with Africans (peers, family, and community members) and non-African peers? (2) How do they describe and experience their processes of racial and ethnic identity development? (3) How do their interactions with Africans and non-Africans shape their racial and ethnic identity development? (4) How do they negotiate their racial and ethnic identities among Africans and non-Africans? This study is significant as it highlights the nuanced identity constructions and negotiations of one of the fastest growing segments of the diverse black population--African immigrant youth. The information gained from this study will contribute to debates on racial and ethnic relations, Diasporas, and identity development.
