Chapter 1—Contextualising Afrodiasporic cultures and identities -- Chapter 2—The politics of blackness: Theorising Afrodiasporic identities and experiences -- Chapter 3—The boundaries of belonging: Misrecognition and challenges of representation -- Chapter 4—The workplace as a racial battleground and devaluation of Black expertise -- Chapter 5—Families growing through change: Dynamics in the Afrodiasporic family -- Chapter 6—Parenting Black children in white spaces -- Chapter 7—Afro-masculinities in an Australian context -- Chapter 8—Resilient narratives: Telling our stories, our way -- Chapter 9—Conclusion: A way forward for policy, practitioners and researchers.

This book explores the Afro-diasporic experiences of African skilled migrants in Australia. It explores research participants' experiences of migration and how these experiences inform their lives and the lives of their family. It provides theory-based arguments examining how mainstream immigration attitudes in Australia impact upon Black African migrants through the mediums of mediatised moral panics about Black criminality and acts of everyday racism that construct and enforce their 'strangerhood'. The book presents theoretical writing on alternate African diasporic experiences and identities and the changing nature of such identities. The qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews to investigate multiple aspects of the migrant experience including employment, parenting, family dynamics and overall sense of belonging. This book advances our understanding of the resilience exercised by skilled Black African migrants as they adjust to a new life in Australia, with particular implications for social work, public health and community development practices.
