Download or read book Blackness as a Defining Identity written by Runyararo Sihle Chivaura and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the lived experiences of African immigrants in Australia, and the way they are represented in the media. By delving into the group’s everyday lives, the book exposes the roles that media and social perceptions play in the production and regulation of diasporic identities. Rather than being presented as objects of mediated representations, this book positions African immigrants in Australia as empowered subjects. The book employs inclusive research methods that make African immigrants active participants in the research, rather than passive objects. This is achieved through an expanded demographic study, a snapshot survey, and by taking a closer look at the lives of Africans in Australia through digital oral histories. This approach allows the group to have a say on how they feel they are positioned in society, on what space they are offered, and on how this affects their lives.

Download or read book Immigrant Experiences of Occupational Downgrading written by Jan A. Adversario and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative phenomenological study examined the occupational downgrading experiences of six adult immigrants. Occupational downgrading happens when an individual's occupation post immigration does not match his or her education credentials and previous professional experiences. The goal was to make sense of the participants' narratives through the lens of possible selves theory. Therefore, the research questions guiding this study were: (1) What are the journeys of adult immigrants adapting to the demands of the U.S. workplace? (2) How do occupational downgrading experiences of immigrants shape their integration to the U.S. workforce? and (3) How can we make sense of the participants' narratives through the lens of possible selves theory? Phenomenological interviews served as the main source for data collection. In addition, artifacts allowed the participants to enrich their stories and assisted them in triggering important memories. Lastly, historical timelines from the participants' countries of origin provided context for their immigration narratives. Phenomenological analysis was helpful in making sense of the participants' stories. Themes that emerged from the participants' occupational downgrading experiences include underemployment, shift in status, language barrier, feeling of discrimination, and lack of inspiration at the new job. Looking at past, present, and future selves, the participants' narratives were examined first through identity transition processes: (1) separation, (2) transition, and (3) reincorporation and then through identity forming processes: (1) reclaiming past possible selves, (2) rejecting past selves, (3) constructing new possible selves, and (4) expanding current ones. The study adds to a developing body of literature focusing on the possible selves of adult immigrants experiencing occupational downgrading.
Download or read book Immigrant Experiences written by Paul H. Elovitz and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives powerful testimony to the possibilities of success, even as it attests to the psychological costs of emigration and the struggles of immigration. The necessity of creating a new cultural or national identity is a recurring theme as the authors of articles - immigrants themselves and Americans sensitive to their families' immigrant experiences - address what has become an urgent question: How can we facilitate the immigrants' passage? The U.S. culture has been forged by the influence of immigrant cultures too numerous to mention; their representatives have made recognizable, significant contributions while struggling to create a viable place for themselves in their adopted land.

Download or read book Land of Opportunity written by Ruth McKoy Lowery and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-05-24 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the experiences of immigrant children and their families in the US. We use the lens of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), a pedagogy that recognizes the importance of including students' cultural references in all aspects of learning (Ladson-Billings, 1994). Teachers become culturally relevant when they intentionally acknowledge and incorporate the experiences of all their students. They ensure that all students feel welcomed in their classrooms, regardless of their cultural, racial or ethnic backgrounds. The ongoing negative debates surrounding immigrant populations, center on minority immigrants. We believe that all immigrant students can succeed in the US education system if given the most appropriate experiences to support their learning. We advocate for employing a culturally responsive stance to achieve this. To that end, this book shares diverse experiences from different minoritized immigrant groups, in the hope that these stories illuminate the importance of acknowledging and celebrating all students and their experiences in the school, home and community.
