This study of Boston's West Indian immigrants examines the identities,
goals, and aspirations of two generations of black migrants from the
British-held Caribbean who settled in Boston between 1900 and 1950.
Describing their experience among Boston's American-born blacks and in
the context of the city's immigrant history, the book charts new
conceptual territory. The Other Black Bostonians explores the
pre-migration background of the immigrants, work and housing, identity,
culture and community, activism and social mobility. What emerges is a
detailed picture of black immigrant life. Johnson's work makes a
contribution to the study of the black diaspora as it charts the history
of this first wave of Caribbean immigrants.Violet Showers Johnson is
