Abstract
The notion ofblack and white is not something new to us. It is a known fact that Africans face several challenges in finding their place within any kind of sociehj. Like most immigrant groups, black migrants must adjust from being the majority in their home society to being a minorihj in the other society. Black migrants, unlike light-skinned migrants, also face an entirely different set of issues directly related to fitting in with other society. They must reconstruct and redefine their identihJ in terms of their present society's system of race relations and hierarchies. This research will make an attempt to study the present status of African migrants in north campus area. It also takes into account their perception of Delhi as a cihj, a place to migrate and live. Although even in the past they faced problems of racism and social exclusion, the recent incidents of discrimination and criminalization against African community have inspired the research to take place. An attempt has been made to take up their perception of Delhi as a place, as their new home and how they feel about the inclusion and exclusion within a new sociehJ.
