    Beskrivning

    By its focus on the African immigrant family, Engaging the Diaspora: Migration and African Families carves its own niche on the migration discourse. It brings together the experiences of African immigrant families as defined by various transnational forces. As an interdisciplinary text, Engaging makes a handy reference for scholars and researchers in institutions of higher learning, as well as for community service providers working on diversity issues. It promotes knowledge about Africans in the Diaspora and the African continent through current and relevant case studies. This book enhances learning on the contemporary factors that continue to shape African migrants.

    Recensioner i media

    This book is an important, timely addition to the large and growing literature on a particular area of migration studies: the experiences of Africans in the diaspora. The first part focuses on the intersecting forces that have shaped the African immigrant experience, while the second part focuses on adaptive experiences. The book's principal strength is its detailed coverage of aspects of the African immigrant experience that have received little or no attention in previous research, including parenting, spirituality, recreation, war experiences, and language. In terms of methodology, the book's interdisciplinary approach and the use of both qualitative and quantitative data contribute to the richness of the discussion. . . .Overall, the book contributes to the understanding of the variety and complexity of the African immigrant experience. An excellent resource for students of migration studies, researchers, and policy makers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General, undergraduate, and graduate collections.
