This work addresses the issue of intergenerational inheritance of Haitian ethnic identity in second generation Haitian immigrants in New York City. How do the children of Haitian immigrants define themselves, as American, Haitian or African American?
The narrative also focuses on contemporary settlement patterns, major Haitian American communities, immigrants' interactions with other groups, and the impact Haitian Americans have made, and more. This is the most thorough, up-to-date reference on Haitian Americans today.
Written by a member of the Black Haitian community, this book brings to life the mechanisms that shape Haitian immigrant identity and underscores the complexity of such an identity. Zephir explains why Haitians define themselves as a distinct ethnic group and examines the various parameters of Haitian ethnicity.
