Book Synopsis The New African Diaspora in North America by : Kwadwo Konadu-Agyemang

Download or read book The New African Diaspora in North America written by Kwadwo Konadu-Agyemang. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New African Diaspora in North America brings together sociologists, social workers, geographers, economists, anthropologists and others to explore the African immigrant experience from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The contributors shed light on the factors behind the increasing wave in African immigration to the U.S. and Canada, the socio-economic characteristics of African immigrants, their spatial distribution, obstacles, and contributions. Despite their increasing presence, African immigrant groups in the U.S. and Canada have engendered relatively little scholarly research on their pre- and post-migration experience. This collection helps fill that void, and will be valuable reading for anyone interested in African Diaspora studies.
