Abstract
- The article analyzes the depiction of decolonial migration, crimmigration and the pursuit of the American Dream by Black people in the book "American Street" by Ibi Zoboi. Topics discussed include the definition of decolonial migration as the journey of Black people migrating to the U.S. to avoid poverty and violence, role of the integration of the U.S. immigration and criminal justice system in the creation of crimmigration, and depiction of spirit worlds as spaces of freedom in the book.
