1 Introduction

This article introduces the development process of African American immigrant literature, from the Black Sex Movement in the 1930s to the third generation of African American immigrant literature in the context of globalization in the 1990s. Special attention was paid to the works of Cameroonian French writer Leonora Miyano, who explored the issue of non European identity through her novels. Miano's creative themes are diverse, including immigration status, gender issues, etc. Her works often focus on marginalized groups in society. The chapter analyzes three works of Miano, showcasing the struggles and identity pursuits of non Europeans in Europe through the stories of the protagonists. These works not only reflect the geographical and cultural alienation between non Europeans and the African continent, but also provide a new interpretation of the identity of the African diaspora.

The Historical Evolution of African American Immigration Status

In depth exploration of the historical evolution of the identity of African American immigrants, from the early 20th century to the present, the identity of the dispersed African American community has undergone a transformation from the image of black elites in the colonial era to that of young immigrants in the postcolonial era. Miano's works depict the struggles and struggles of African American immigrants in terms of identity by depicting the history and real-life experiences of immigrants from different generations. As a successful black elite during the colonial period, Amok's grandfather's identity contrasts sharply with Amok's self-identity, reflecting the intergenerational transmission of identity dilemmas.

The superposition of multiple cultures

Deeply explored the multiple cultural overlaps of non European identities in Leonora Miyano's works. Miano's personal experiences and multicultural background have deeply influenced her writing style. Her works, "Like a Extinguished Star" and "Faint of Suffering," showcase the identity loss and survival challenges of African diaspora through book titles and cover designs. The fate and living conditions of the characters in the book reflect the practical difficulties faced by non European communities. Miano cleverly uses popular culture, popular language, and Cameroonian English French mixture in his works, reflecting the spiritual connotation of non European people. She depicts the living conditions of non Europeans in Europe and their impact on the sense of belonging of the next generation through the protagonist's self exile. Miano is also skilled at using imagery such as darkness and shadows to convey the theme of the work and predict the fate of the characters. Her works showcase the conflict between traditional African culture and modern Western civilization, as well as the reconciliation, inclusiveness, and future prospects inherent in non European identity. Miano has deeply depicted the symbolic meanings of natural elements such as rain, rivers, trees, etc., reflecting the mysterious color of Cameroon's local culture. Her works, through surreal writing, showcase the tension between individual experiences and geopolitical isolation, as well as the unified construction of non European identities.

4 Music expressions of non European identity

Explored the expression of non European identity in music, pointing out that this concept originated in the music industry and had an impact on European culture through African popular culture. In the 1990s, non European identity began to become popular in Europe, and artists such as David Burn and Zap's mother began to define themselves based on this. French band Les Nubiens and Belgian singer Baloji have also participated in the creation of non European music. The concept of non European people subsequently expanded to theater and other artistic fields, such as Eva Dunbia's play "Non European Women" and theater festivals in Austria and Belgium. The academic community has also begun to pay attention to this concept, especially the descendants of immigrants who grew up on the European continent. In his works, Miano explores the connotation of non European identity by crossing the boundaries between literature and music through music forms such as jazz. In her work 'Like a Dying Star', music is closely linked to the fate of the characters, such as Duke Ellington's' Hope for the Gospel to Come 'and Mayfield's' Hard Times', reflecting the understanding of the world by African diaspora youth. Miano's works also explore the shared destiny of blues music and African American youth, as well as the similarity between the structure of blues music and the relationships between story characters.

5 Conclusion

The multiplicity of non European identities stems from the dilemma of cultural identity, living environment, stereotypes, and social identity. Their rich local cultural experience is a product of multicultural integration, which can promote communication between different cultures and break the world structure of single or binary opposition.
