The key reason for these migrations has been the collapse of social, political, economic, and educational structures in their home countries, which has driven Africans to seek security and self-realization in the West. This lively and timely collection of essays takes a look at the new immigrant experience. It traces the immigrants' progress from expatriation to arrival and covers the successes as well as problems they have encountered as they establish their lives in a new country. The contributors, most immigrants themselves, use their firsthand experiences to add clarity, honesty, and sensitivity to their discussions of the new African diaspora."--Publisher's description. 000809207 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000809207 650_0 $$aAfricans$$xMigrations. 000809207 650_0 $$aBlacks$$xMigrations. 000809207 650_0 $$aAfrican diaspora. 000809207 650_0 $$aAfricans$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions. 000809207 650_0 $$aImmigrants$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions. 000809207 650_0 $$aAfricans$$zCanada$$xSocial conditions. 000809207 650_0 $$aImmigrants$$zCanada$$xSocial conditions. 000809207 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xEmigration and immigration. 000809207 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEmigration and immigration. 000809207 651_0 $$aCanada$$xEmigration and immigration. 000809207 7001_ $$aOkpewho, Isidore,$$eeditor. 000809207 7001_ $$aNzegwu, Nkiru,$$eeditor. 000809207 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tNew African diaspora.$$dBloomington : Indiana University Press, ©2009$$z9780253353375$$w(DLC) 2009005961$$w(OCoLC)310171795 000809207 852__ $$bacq 000809207 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000809207 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000809207 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=455788$$zOnline Access 000809207 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=455788$$zOnline Access 000809207 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:809207$$pGLOBAL_SET 000809207 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000809207 980__ $$aBIB 000809207 982__ $$aEbook 000809207 983__ $$aOnline
