Using surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus-group interviews of high-achieving children of Nigerian immigrants in the United States, the author explored the backgrounds of the youths, how they experienced education in the US, their educational and career aspirations, and the challenges they faced on their path to academic success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also examined how they overcame their challenges and included interviews of some of the parents to determine the role parents played in their children's success. Nigerian parents adopted some of the strategies their own parents utilized back home in Nigeria to motivate their children to academic success in the United States, often using what the author termed the gospel of education creed. The first of its kind, the book also documented how second-generation Nigerians navigate multiple identities and challenges to become successful in the United States. The author examined where participants are more than ten years later to determine whether they met the academic goals and the career aspirations they set earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Ngozi Anekwe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1736369903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781736369906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Naija Imprints\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Patricia Ngozi Anekwe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442540523775,"sku":"9781736369906","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad1b9241-59e3-4fcb-9847-5b47acd5c118.jpg?v=1777198074","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/high-achieving-second-generation-nigerians-in-the-patricia-ngozi-anekwe-9781736369906","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
