Interview of Timi Tinuoye

Description

This interview between Andrew McGillicuddy and Timi Tinuoye explores Tinuoye's experiences as an immigrant to the United States from England and Nigeria. Both dynamic personalities combine to make this interview enjoyable, yet at the same time it becomes an extremely informative resource. Tinuoye’s unique immigration experience allows the reader to look into the life of a man that has a strong Nigerian ethnic background, while also having a strong English national background. This mixed identity creates an interesting space for conversation where they discuss a multitude of topics from Tinuoye’s childhood, the Nigerian economy, his transition to the United States, and the school systems in England, Nigeria, and the United States.

This interview was conducted as part of an undergraduate final project for the University of Maryland, College Park course HIST428M: "Oral History of Immigration" (Spring 2017). This course was led by Professor Anne Rush of the History Department, College of Arts and Humanities, and was sponsored by the Center for Global Migration Studies.
