The Ghanaian Experience

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the Ghanaian diaspora in North America, a group which has grown substantially since 1980, and offers a fascinating lens on some of the key themes of the 'new migration' including transnationalism, identity, social networks, remittances, economic integration and citizenship. Using original empirical data, the author also investigates the relationship between these new African migrants and the native-born black diaspora in the US.

Rezensionen

'John Arthur is, without question, one of the most insightful of the new crop of scholars working in the growing field of African diaspora studies. This book represents a milestone in the field by focusing on one specific community and exploring it from key sociological and economic perspectives. It will be required reading for a long time to come.' Isidore Okpewho, Binghamton University, USA
