Summary, Etc.  

요약Since the end of World War II, changing immigration policy has brought large numbers of non-white immigrants to the U.S., and the Black-White racial divide that existed in the 1940s and 1950s has given way to a more complex contemporary racial hierarchy (Hamilton 2019). One way this new racial hierarchy is evidenced is through the changing nature of what it means to be Black in the U.S. Many scholars agree that Black American identity is rapidly changing, largely due to increased migration of Black immigrants and refugees post-1965. In 1960, less than 1% of the U.S. Black population was foreign-born; however, by 1990 it had reached 5% and by 2014 it was 9.4% (Hamilton 2019). However, questions remain in the sociological literature regarding our understanding of how Black immigrants navigate their many identities. We know that Black immigrants in the U.S. are confronted with the racialization processes of American society, as well as ideas about what it means to be Black in the United States (Awokoya 2012). We also know that a complicated relationship with native-born black Americans exists, largely the result of Western stigmatization (Traore 2003). However, we know less about how Black immigrants navigate their ethnoracial identities throughout their life span and how, if at all, this is impacted by the ethnoracial context in which they reside, especially in the critical life stage of one's college years.In this dissertation I ask three questions: among 1.5- and second-generation African immigrant college students attending a Predominantly White Institution (PWI), (1) What identities do they hold as most important? (2) How do they characterize their past and present experiences with African Americans and African immigrants? and (3) How do their past and present experiences, their institutional context, and their organizational participation(s) inform a sense of belonging and development of racial identity? To answer these questions, I conducted interviews with forty-four 1.5- and second-generation African immigrant college students at a PWI. My analysis centered around two broad aspects of the students' experiences. First, I focused on respondents' interpersonal relationships throughout childhood and adolescence and assessed how these relationships impact their racial and ethnic identities (Chapter 4). Second, I examined intra-organizational relationships in college and how these relationships impact belongingness and racial-ethnic identity (Chapter 5). Across my two empirical chapters, my findings support three main themes: the development of intersectional identities by gender, religion, nationality, social class, and race; organizational belonging and the impact this has on identities; and "race making" or the development of racial consciousness during college-specifically via student organizations. Future avenues of research on this topic should examine the differences across structural and interpersonal locations. Assessing the types of relationships that are formed at different types of universities or among populations that have not attended college would aid our understanding of how organizational belonging matters for racial and ethnic identity and how racial consciousness is-or is not-developed.
