Migration: The movement of people from one country or region to another, often for reasons such as work, education, or escape from conflict. It can be voluntary or involuntary, temporary or permanent.
Identity: The sense of self that is shaped by personal experiences, cultural background, and social context. Migration can influence and reshape an individual's identity.
Belonging: The feeling of being accepted and integrated within a community or society. Migration often challenges notions of belonging, especially when cultural differences are involved.
Racial Identity: The aspect of a person's identity related to race, often linked to social perceptions and experiences of discrimination or privilege, especially in contexts like the United States.
Cultural Hybridity: The blending of different cultural influences resulting from migration, leading to new, hybrid identities that incorporate elements from multiple backgrounds.
