1. Conflict between Immigrant Parents and Their Children
Introduction
    The long team ethnographic study has shown that integration and identity formation are not influenced by race but also influences by the reception.

The methods they are using to escape is developing tension between them and their parents.

    Despite the steps taken by the second generation, to reduce the stigma, attached towards them, their identity as Blacks outside their neighborhood persists. It has been seen that children are making distance from their heritage and the struggle their ancestors had done in this country to gain the...
