Abstract

Given polarizing popular-media narratives of immigrant youth from West African countries, we construct an interdisciplinary framework engaging a Sankofan approach to analyze education research literature on social processes of navigating identities and engaging civically across immigrant youth’s heritage practices and Indigenous knowledges. In examining social processes, we disrupt three areas of inequalities affecting educational experiences of immigrant youth: (a) homogenizing notions of a monolithic West Africa and immigrant youth’s West African countries, (b) deficit understandings of identities and the heterogeneity of Black immigrant youth from West African countries living in the United States, and (c) singular views of youth’s civic engagement. We provide implications for researchers, policymakers, and educators to better meet youth’s teaching and learning needs.

挑战西非移民青年的流行叙事:审视身份导航和公民参与的社会过程
鉴于来自西非国家的移民青年的两极分化的流行媒体叙事,我们构建了一个跨学科框架,采用Sankofan方法来分析关于移民青年的身份导航和公民参与的社会过程的教育研究文献遗产实践和土著知识。在考察社会过程时,我们破坏了影响移民青年教育经历的三个不平等领域:(a)单一西非和移民青年西非国家的同质化观念,(b)对生活在美国的西非国家黑人移民青年的身份和异质性的理解不足,以及(c)对青年公民参与的单一看法。我们为研究人员、政策制定者和教育工作者提供了启示,以更好地满足青年的教学需求。
