Making Sense, Making Selves. Afro-Latin Americans of British Caribbean Descent

About This Research

Description: This introduction of Afro-Latin Americans of British Caribbean descent discusses a people’s approach to defining and identifying themselves. For this specific group of people, Dr. Nwankwo raises questions, such as “How do I define myself” and “Do I embrace or reject the paradigmatic identity categories in my new nation,” all of which have persisted from the past to the present.

The article aims to show insight on how Afro-Latin Americans of British Caribbean descent strive to create space for their multicultural realities and experiences. Nwankwo also briefly explains some of the fears faced by researchers and scholars looking at African America Studies.
