Dmitri Bonderenko's African Americans & American Africans is a significant contribution to African and Africana Studies. Thoroughly researched and clearly expressed, African Americans & American Africans increases our comprehension of the always complex and sometimes contentious set of social relations that emerge from the dynamic interplay between African Americans and African immigrants in American cities and towns. This work, which is filled with observational precision and anthropological insight, will spark much debate about the complex nature of contemporary social relations in the United States. In these troubled times, African Americans & American Africans is a most welcome addition to the anthropological record.Paul Stoller, Professor of Anthropology, West Chester University.
