Beyond Expectations

Discover the rich tapestry of identity in "Beyond Expectations," a compelling exploration by Imoagene, published by the University of California Press in 2017. This insightful paperback delves into the multifaceted identities of second-generation Nigerian adults residing in the United States and Britain. Imoagene presents a thought-provoking argument that these individuals cultivate an alternative understanding of 'black' identity, one that significantly diverges from the traditional African American and Black Caribbean perspectives found in both regions. With 312 pages of engaging content, this book offers a unique lens through which to view the complexities of cultural identity and belonging. Ideal for readers interested in sociology, cultural studies, and the dynamics of race, "Beyond Expectations" is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of contemporary identity issues.
