Abstract

Engages in debate regarding immigrants and ethnicity in the USA. Research, based on second-generation West Indian immigrants, shows ethnicity has very real implications for immigrants' life experience. Suggests that black immigrants complicate the slight understanding of blackness in general, but also the understanding of identity development.
