African Immigrants and the American Experience is a well-researched treatment on an often unexplored topic: the life and varied experiences of African immigrants in the United States. It is a clever study, revealing at every turn the complexity, diversity, and changing nature of American society.

The population of African immigrants in the United States has grown rapidly over the past few decades. African Immigrants and the American Experience: Race, Anti-Black Violence, and the Quest for the American Dream by Wanjala S. Nasong’o, Imali J. Abala, and Kefa M. Otiso explores contemporary sub-Saharan African immigrants’ experiences with issues of race, ethnicity, and systemic violence in the United States. Each contributor within this volume dissects how these issues have impacted, and in many cases snuffed out, the immigrants’ quest for the fabled American dream. Divided into three sections, each chapter focuses on these main themes: race and anti-black violence, educational attainment among African immigrants in pursuit of the American dream, and African immigrant’s socioeconomics, health, and well-being. Through research and first-hand accounts, the contributors provide perspectives of what it truly means to be a sub-Saharan African immigrant in the United States.

The journey of the struggles, survival, and success by African immigrants in the United States has not been accorded enough academic attention it deserves. Finally, an assemblage of accomplished African scholars has put together a volume that examines the intersectionality of the social, economic, cultural, and political accomplishments of African immigrants in America, despite their many challenges. This 'must read' twelve-chapter volume provides data, and analysis that will surprise many Afro-skeptics.
