Abstract
This book is about the migration of West African women to the United States. It recognizes the importance of previous theoretical paradigms (such as the push-pull model of migration and the world systems perspective), but also goes beyond these approaches by incorporating aspects of nationality, culture, normative systems, and the institutional processes that immigrants forge to anchor their immigrant experiences and lived realities in the host society. The aim is to portray the social, economic, and cultural processes by which the women create and give meanings and contents to their diaspora experiences in the United States.KeywordsGender IdentityInternational MigrationImmigrant WomanAfrican WomanMigrant WomanThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
