Abstract:
This book captures the experiences of Senegalese in Paris, Rome, and New York as they make sense of who they are and how they fit into their local communities, into the countries where they live, and into the larger global Senegalese diaspora. Importantly, it is not only what the interviewees say that conveys certain understandings of self and environment. It is also how they speak...the particular ways in which they switch between languages and structure their discourse...that shapes their identities
