Nation of Newcomers
Constructing Black Selves
Caribbean American Narratives and the Second Generation
Lisa Diane McGill

“This book is a welcome addition to the new scholarship on Caribbean migration and in particular to the burgeoning interest in second-generation Caribbeans in America.”
- New West Indian Guide

“Moving against the traditional grain of migration scholarship in the United States, McGill forges a compelling cross-sectional dialogue among the languages, discourses, and cultural experiences of native-born and immigrant blacks in the twentieth century.”
- Multicultural Review
