About this Book:

The challenges of raising African children in the United States and other foreign countries of the west have continued to dominate discussions among first generation immigrant Africans who are resident in those foreign countries of the west.

The author explores his observations on how culture collision has to some extent presented significant challenges to African parents who are raising their children in a dominant foreign culture. He also looked into the experiences of foreign raised children some of whom are grown adults who have moved away from their respective parent homes to their personal homes.The book attempting to shade lights on the effects foreign culture has on immigrant African sojourners who share different cultural heritages explores various experiences, observations, and engagement people from different cultural orientations have had.

Book Review:

The culture of raising children of African descent in foreign countries most importantly in the United States seems very tasking to immigrant parents who came from different cultural backgrounds because the cultural norms in which they were raised almost always build a strong wall in their bid to shape their children as they were raised by their own parents. There is absolute freedom in all the principles associated with the formation of a child’s character in most foreign countries. The right to association, the freedom of expression, the culture of looking at an adult in the face while communication is taking place, is an acceptable norm in a foreign country like the United States but would be unacceptable in the native African cultures.
