STORIES OF IDENTITY AMONG BLACK MIDDLE CLASS SE...

This volume addresses how black  middle class  second generation Caribbean immigrants are often
overlooked in contemporary discussions of race  black economic mobility  and immigrant
communities in the US. Based on rich ethnography  Yndia S. Lorick-Wilmot draws attention to
this persisting invisibility by exploring this generation's experiences in challenging
structures of oppression as adult children of post-1965 Caribbean immigrants and as an
important part of the African-American middle class. She recounts compelling stories from
participants regarding their identity performances in public and private spaces-including what
it means to be black and making it in America-as well as the race  gender  and class
constraints they face as part of a larger transnational community.
