The stories of participants in Ette's study demonstrate their perseverance and resilience and provide helpful information for individuals and communities as they assist immigrants to be successful in their adopted land. -- Pauline Jivanjee, Portland State University\u003cbr\u003eDr. Ette interprets the experiences of Nigerian immigrants seeking opportunities in the United States from a psycho-social perspective. The case studies are hilarious, provocative, and inspiring. The discussion shows that Nigerians in America are resilient and accommodating; it further shows that the immigration experience can sometimes be painful. This is a book about the clash of two cultures, and the immigrant experience has never been shown with such insightful anecdotes. -- Celestine A. Ntuen, North Carolina A\u0026amp;T State University\u003cbr\u003eAn intensely scholarly evocation of the experiences of Nigerian immigrants in the United States, this book is an engaging pathfinder that broadens the literature of immigration and globalization with fresh, significant, and vital vistas of knowledge needful for easing the challenges of displacement and acculturation. Compelling and scholarly, the narrative factors on pressing issues Nigerian immigrants must deal with, and is thus as much of a must read for social workers working with Nigerian immigrants as it is for immigration and asylum seekers from Nigeria to the US. -- Imo Eshiet, Southern Virginia University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgment  Foreword  Part I   Historical and Theoretical Approaches  Chapter 1 The African Immigrant in the United States  Chapter 2 Historical Review                           Chapter 3 Theoretical Analysis of Immigration Policies  Chapter 4 Meaning making in the Immigration Experience    Part II  Individual Stories of Immigrants: Approaches and Relevance in Human Services  Chapter 5 The Men Who Came as Students  Chapter 6 The Women who Came as Wives  Chapter 7 The Women who came as Students  Chapter 8 Permanent Visitors  Chapter 9 Visa Lottery Winners  Chapter 10 Adaptation and Integration into the American Society  Chapter 11 Tools and Resources of Adjustment  Chapter 12 Working With Nigerian Immigrants  References  About the Author Index   ","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037510369623,"sku":"9780739170397","price":82.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780739170397.jpg?v=1750936028","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/nigerian-immigrants-in-the-united-states-9780739170397","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
