The authors believe that telling our own stories from our own perspectives is important and empowering because when others tell our stories there are omissions and misrepresentations and a lot of stereotyping. The authors hope that the insights gained from the research in this book will be used by immigrant communities, academic institutions, and government agencies in advocating for immigration policies that positively impact the lived experiences of sub-Saharan African immigrants and in planning support interventions.' -- $c Details from publisher. 650 0 $a Africans $z America $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a United States $x Emigration and immigration. 651 0 $a Africa, Sub-Saharan $x Emigration and immigration. 700 1 $a Mainah, Fredah, $e author. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781839987878 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706015642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1CFD500E97711ED8437380758ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
