Abstract
Transnational media have been an avenue whereby ethnic identities can be constructed as well as negotiated. These media contribute to how the second-generation ethnic Americans articulate their multiple identities. Not enough attention has been paid to their African counterparts, however. Given the importance of transnational media in the lives of the second generation, this ongoing study seeks to understand how transnational media impact second-generation Igbo (SGI) young adults’ ethnicity and transnationalism in the United States. By employing a qualitative in-depth interview method, preliminary analysis data indicate that transnational media are vital among the SGI in articulating their ethnic and transnational identities in the United States.
