Research suggests exclusionary mechanisms fostering negative socioeconomic outcomes for African immigrants. This study explored predictors of social exclusion among immigrants from African countries living in the United States. The authors examined four dimensions of social exclusion that entail social–cultural and structural–economic exclusion. Authors used structural equation modeling to analyze cross-sectional survey data from first- and second-generation African immigrants across the United States (N = 409). Findings highlighted the negative effects of discrimination on all four dimensions of social exclusion. In addition, higher levels of education were associated with higher levels of social–cultural exclusion, whereas higher levels of income were protective from social and structural–economic exclusion. Authors also found health status, religion, race, and immigrant generation to have significant effects on social exclusion. Study findings have important implications for social workers seeking to identify and prevent exclusionary mechanisms and practices affecting African immigrants in the United States.

T o understand and address better the myriad and entrenched disparities faced by Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), researchers have increasingly begun to focus on racism rather than race itself as a driver of health and social inequities (Boyd, Lindo, Weeks, & McLemore, 2020; James & Iacopetti, 2021; Mateo & Williams, 2021). Racism, sexism, ciscentrism and transphobia, heterocentrism and homophobia, and ableism, among other “isms,” and health and social inequities all have long-standing and entrenched histories, but recently attention to intersectionality has been increasing in frequency and depth (Bowleg, 2020). Coined by Crenshaw (1989), intersectionality refers to the interaction and interplay of multiple forms of discrimination, marginalization, exclusion, and stigma (herein referred to as “oppression” for the sake of brevity). Research on intersectionality has mirrored the growth in attention, including challenges for state-of-theart research (for reviews, see Bauer et al., 2021; Jackson-Best & Edwards, 2018; Layland et al., 2020; Nichols & Stahl, 2019). This article builds on the “racism, not race” imperative to (a) derive lessons learned for more valid and rigorous intersectionality research; (b) identify gaps, challenges, and opportunities that have received less, if any, attention in the literature; and (c) describe action steps for social work researchers and the larger research enterprise.
