African Immigrants in the United States: The Gendering Significance of Race? examines recent trends and implications of the growth of African immigration to the United States. Mamadi Corra highlights several resulting sociodemographic processes underway, including the changing composition of the foreign-born and US Black populations. Corra also explores sociodemographic profiles of these “new African Americans” or “new Americans,” highlighting the increasing diversity, yet also the racialized portrait of this group. Corra discusses key patterns including the shifting racial and gender composition of immigrants, with a growing proportion of “Black” and female African immigrants and a decreasing proportion of “White” and male immigrants. The book also compares socioeconomic profiles of African immigrants with other immigrant groups and Native American subgroups. Taken together, Corra discovers that the salience of race that is mediated by gender.

In this clearly written volume, Corra provides a comprehensive analysis of African immigrants' labor force outcomes. This is the first study to encompass movers from the entire continent: North Africa as well as Sub-Saharan. Corra's purview includes Black as well as white, women as well as men. Keeping these distinctions in mind, Corra examines several labor market outcomes. The fine-grained analysis proves worthwhile because the results vary markedly by outcome, place, race, and gender.
