Other African Americans - Contemporary African and Caribbean Families in the United States

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Yoku Shaw-Taylor and Steven A. Tuch Klappentext Despite their growing presence, research on Caribbean and, especially, African immigrants has been scant. The scarcity of writings on these 'other' African Americans contributes to the invisibility of these groups.
