Relations Between Africans and African Americans: Misconceptions, Myths and Realities

What is the state of relations between Africans and African Americans? How do Africans see black Americans, and how do black Americans see them? What is their experience with American blacks and what is the experience of black Americans with them, individually and collectively, and in general? How are Africans accepted by black people in the United States? And how are black Americans accepted in Africa? Do Africans see American blacks as fellow Africans, cousins or distant cousins, or just as Americans? Those are some of the questions answered in this book by Tanzanian author Godfrey Mwakikagile. He went to school in the United States and lived and interacted with African Americans for more than 30 years. He has also written other books found in public and university libraries around the world.
