The New African Diaspora in Vancouver maps out how African immigrants negotiate these multiple dimensions of local exclusion while at the same time creating new spaces of belonging and emerging collective identity."--Pub. desc. 330 $a"The New African Diaspora in Vancouver documents the experiences of immigrants from countries in sub-Saharan Africa on Canada's west coast. Despite their individual national origins, many adopt new identities as 'African' and are actively engaged in creating a new, place-based 'African community.' In this study, Gillian Creese analyzes interviews with sixty-one women and men from twenty-one African countries to document the gendered and racialized processes of community-building that occur in the contexts of marginalization and exclusion as they exist in Vancouver. 606 $aAfricans |z British Columbia |z Vancouver |x Social conditions 607 $aVancouver (B.C.)$xRace relations 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aBritish Columbia$xEmigration and immigration 608 $aCase studies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfricans |z British Columbia |z Vancouver |x Social conditions. 676 $a305.896/071133 700 $aCreese$b Gillian Laura$f1955-$01597650 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828123303321 996 $aThe new African diaspora in Vancouver$93919464 997 $aUNINA
