There have been arguments outlined by the likes of Heath and Roberts (2008) about the loss of identity among children of West African immigrants; but one might ask how can an individual lose an identity that he or she has never known or does not recognize? Fanon argued that migrants and those living under colonization try to adapt to the norms of the hegemonic group by wearing their “white masks” and fail to adapt. If they cannot wear the white mask and yet fail to recognize and relate to the identity they were thought to have lost how do children of West African immigrants see their sense of belonging if they cannot successfully wear any of these identity? This thesis will attempt to explore the multiple identities of second generation West African immigrants. He argues for the need to redefine the concept of “mask” into an identity that can be described more as “carved,” a word that will be used metaphorically to refer to the common act of chipping and cutting a solid material to form an object. rather similar to the process that occurs when second-generation African immigrants attempt to create for themselves an identity that better fits the different cultural influences they experience on a daily basis
