“Trans-nationalism, social identities and African youth in the Canadian diaspora” in Social Identities, 15 (2), 227-242

This paper discusses processes through which African Canadian youth construct their identities as well as form friendships within and across ethnic boundaries. The paper presents how, through these processes, youth use resources in history that help them construct and negotiate diaspora identities and friendships while simultaneously distancing themselves from the core group of white Canadian peers.
