"More than "just Black
Structured Luck
The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program is a lottery that awards winners from underrepresented countries the chance to apply for legal permanent resident status in the United States. The program serves as one of the main migration pathways for Africans entering the country, yet despite its long history and increasing popularity in developing countries, there are few studies on the experiences of African diversity immigrants. Structured Luck explores…
Migrants, Immigrants, and the New Nigerian Diaspora
This chapter discusses Nigerians in the British, American, and Chinese diasporas. Nigerians are the most educated immigrant group in Britain and one of the most educated immigrant groups in the United States. Their migration stream is shaped by a culture of professional migration. Nigerian migration to China is somewhat different as most Nigerians in China migrated to engage in trade. The chapter then discusses second-generation Nigerians’ identi…

The Nigerian Second Generation at Work in Britain
This article examines the workplace experiences of upwardly mobile second generation Nigerians in Britain. It uses data from semi-structured in-depth interviews with 73 second generation Nigerian adults. The analysis distinguishes between incidents of discrimination and stigmatization (assaults on worth) and finds that incidents of stigmatization were more common than incidents of racial discrimination among the Nigerian second generation. Contex…
Gauging panethnicity
This article examines second generation Nigerian adults' attitudes to affirmative action and whether black immigrants and their children should be beneficiaries of the policy to gauge their panethnic levels and notions of linked fate with African Americans. I find evidence of panethnic developments based on shared racial status and experiences of discrimination. However, this panethnic identity exists alongside emerging class based affinities wit…
A Century of Transnationalism
Stepping up Your Game
Feeling American in America, Not Feeling British in Britain
In chapter 6, I show how the specific history an immigrant group has with the receiving country is an important aspect of the context of reception which does not receive sufficient attention in segmented assimilation theory’s discussion of the black second generation. I show how national contexts—specifically how national identity and legacies of the past, from slavery, to colonialism, to color segregation—influence identificational assimilation …
On the Horns of Racialization
Chapter 5 discusses the endpoints of the ethnic identification journey of the Nigerian second generation. A key endpoint is that they are integrating into the black middle class. The chapter utilizes the minority culture of mobility framework to examine how respondents’ middle class status affects how they interact with their proximal hosts and how their experiences in and interactions with white people in professional settings affect their ident…
“You Are Not Like Me!”
Chapter 2 shows how the proximal host is a crucial actor influencing how the second generation of Nigerian ancestry identify. How the presence of the proximal host affects identity formation among the black second generation is generally overlooked in segmented assimilation theory and is a key factor emphasized in beyond racialization theory. The chapter details how relations with the proximal host in childhood, particularly feelings of rejection…
Setting the Context
It is a sociological truism that context matters. After all, identity is not created in a vacuum. Instead, people develop their identities as they interact with other groups while navigating the social, political, and economic milieu of the country they live in—a milieu greatly influenced by the country’s specific racial history. Chapter 1 presents a succinct discussion of the social, political, and racial contexts in which the black second gener…
Forging a Diasporic Nigerian Ethnicity in the United States and Britain
Chapter 4 examines why the Nigerian second generation in both the United States and Britain did not forge a reactive black ethnicity as predicted by segmented assimilation theory. It describes how blackness can be constructed to be ethnically diverse. The chapter details how the Nigerian second generation are forging a diasporic Nigerian ethnicity in the United States and Britain via two simultaneous processes required in identity formation: sign…
“It’s Un-Nigerian Not to Go to College”
Chapter 3 examines how ethnicity serves as a form of capital for the Nigerian second generation in both countries. The discussion of ethnicity as capital being a source of progress for the second generation has heretofore been largely limited to a discussion of certain Asian groups in both countries. In this chapter, I extend the discussion of ethnicity as capital to a group of the black second generation. The chapter examines how ethnicity becam…
Conclusion
In the conclusion, I rearticulate the main points of beyond racialization theory. I discuss what the experiences of the adult second generation of Nigerian ancestry in the United States and Britain reveal about the intersections of race, class, national origin, and ethnicity in these countries. I discuss what their experiences tell us about the future of the color line and understandings of blackness in the United States and Britain. The experien…

Beyond Expectations
More Than Just Black delves into the experiences of second generation Nigerian adults in the United States and Britain, examining how race, ethnicity, and class (both parental and individual) affect their identities and assimilation trajectories. I pay particular attention to how their relations with their proximal hosts, African Americans in the United States and Black Caribbeans in Britain, affect how they identify. I conclude that the Nigerian…
Living With a Stigmatized Identity
Affecting Lives
Usual debates about the diversity visa ( DV ) programme revolve around the impact of DV initiated mass migration on African countries’ development, on whether the programme sufficiently diversifies U.S. immigrant streams, and on whether there is a tradeoff in immigrant quality for diversity. This article seeks to extend the focus of these debates by examining the impact of the diversity visa programme on DV migrants at the micro‐level pre‐ and po…

Being British vs Being American
This paper explores the important roles national identity and legacies of the past play in shaping the meanings second-generation adults of Nigerian descent attach to being British or American. Whether a country's national identity is inclusive or exclusive of immigrants, and whether its national myths have emotive appeal also affects the sense of welcome and belonging that the second generation feel. Comparing the USA and the UK, I find that alt…
