- Dwayne is a Grade 6 student who came to Canada from Jamaica at the age of seven. Upon arrival in a new school Dwayne had to adapt to a new culture. In addition, Dwayne was identified as having severe behavioral problems and learning difficulties, and it was recommended within the first month of school that the boy be medicated in order for him to cope. His mother refused. Through interviewing Dwayne's mother and his teacher, a case study details Dwayne's experiences of schooling. The story of Dwayne illustrates how experiences of disablement are interrelated with experiences of migration and racialization.

6. Extract From "Water, Shoulders, Into The Black Pacific"
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Tinsley,Omise'eke Natasha (Author)
- Format:
- Journal Article
- Publication Date:
- 2012
- Published:

- Location:
- African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Journal Title:
- GLQ
- Journal Title Details:
- 18(2-3) : 263-276
- Notes:
- If Africans' forced Atlantic passage ushered in a colonial era that violently connected Africa and the Americas to Europe, Africans' travel to and on the Pacific as sailors, soldiers, dockworkers, and curious voyagers traced other kinds of crossings: linkages between black Atlantic subjects and Mexico, Native America, Polynesia, Micronesia, the Philippines, and other sites of flow through the global South. "Water, Shoulders, Into the Black Pacific" looks to innovate discussions of the African diaspora by tracing one possible route of this less-explored oceanography. Where does the black Atlantic meet the black Pacific? What would it mean to chart a story of the African diaspora not through the triangle trade crisscrossing that first ocean but as a continual navigation of many bodies of water -- Atlantic, Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, Mississippi, Pacific -- and many waves of migration?
7. Geographies of displacements: Theorizing feminism, migration, and transnational feminist practices in selected black Caribbean Canadian women's texts
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Kebe,Amy (Author)
- Format:
- Dissertation/Thesis
- Publication Date:
- 2009
- Published:
- Canada: Universite de Montreal
- Location:
- African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Journal Title:
- ProQuest Dissertations and Theses
- Notes:
- 242 p., As a feminist approach which takes into consideration how gender collides with race, national origin, and class in the context of neo-colonial imperialisms, transnational feminist studies attempt to bridge the gap left by these theories that either look at gender or at race. This dissertation examines the work of Dionne Brand, Marlene Nourbese Philip, and Makeda Silvera in the light of these recent transnational feminist developments. By insisting on a fluid and multiply positioned self, these writers enact a transnational feminist identity that repudiates simplistic notions of gender oppression at the same time as it challenges masculinist notions of home.
8. Identity in motion: The symbiotic connection between migration and identity in four 20th century novels by African diasporic women writers
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Sampson-Choma,Tosha Kabara (Author)
- Format:
- Dissertation/Thesis
- Publication Date:
- 2011
- Published:
- Lincoln, Nebraska: The University of Nebraska - Lincoln
- Location:
- African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Journal Title:
- ProQuest Dissertations and Theses
- Notes:
- This dissertation examines the migratory experiences of the protagonists from four African diasporic novels: Fruit of the Lemon by Andrea Levy (1999), Kehinde by Buchi Emecheta (1994), Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat (1994), and The Color Purple by Alice Walker (1982). When analyzed comparatively these texts demonstrate that a completely integrated identity (that merges two cultures) is contingent upon a return to the protagonist's cultural roots either by the protagonist herself or someone who is closely aligned with her. The protagonist or her representative must travel to her ancestral homeland and in the process develop a value system that reflects the duality of her identity.
9. International migration and social policy underdevelopment in the Dominican Republic
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Ondetti,Gabriel (Author)
- Format:
- Journal Article
- Publication Date:
- Apr 2012
- Published:
- United Kingdom: Sage Publications Ltd.
- Location:
- African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Journal Title:
- Global Social Policy
- Journal Title Details:
- 12(1) : 45-66
- Notes:
- Argues that the underdevelopment of Dominican social policies reflects the political impact of international migration flows, including both Dominican emigration to the United States and the immigration into the Dominican Republic from neighboring Haiti. These flows have inhibited the development of progressive political actors, including the partisan left and organized labor, and facilitated the adoption of an economic production model that erects additional obstacles to the expansion of the country's social policies.
10. Migration as a Tool for Disaster Recovery: US Policy Options in the Case of Haiti
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Clemens,Michael (Author) and Velayudhan,Tejaswi (Author)
- Format:
- Pamphlet
- Publication Date:
- Oct 2011
- Published:
- Center for Global Development
- Location:
- African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Notes:
- 4 p., The United States should take modest steps to create a legal channel for limited numbers of people fleeing natural disasters overseas to enter the United States. This would address two related problems: the lack of any systematic US policy to help the growing numbers of people displaced across borders by natural disasters and the inability of US humanitarian relief efforts to reduce systemic poverty or sustainably improve victims' livelihoods. The aftermath of the 2010 Haiti earthquake presents a compelling case study of the administrative and legislative ways the US government could address both problems. Migration is already a proven and powerful force for reducing Haitians' poverty. A few modest changes in the US approach could greatly aid Haiti's recovery.
