a| Nigerian Immigrants in the United States: Race, Identity, and Acculturation attempts to generate an interest in the study of African immigrants by looking at issues of settlement and adjustment of Nigerians in the United States. This book explores the factors that contribute to the adaptation and integration of Nigerian immigrants living in some metropolitan areas of the United States and asks how immigrants themselves interpret their experiences in a new society. In an attempt to answer this question, others are generated, such as: Who are these Nigerians that have left their homeland? What can we learn from their experiences? Employing the study of this population through the method of phenomenology, Nigerian Immigrants in the United States leads the reader to understand the experience of being an immigrant in America. Those who work with Nigerian immigrants will find this book insightful and revealing. Book jacket.
