Though marriage and close family ties are the backbone of selection
in U.S. immigration law, families are the least studied area in
immigration research. This is because of assumptions that
immigrants assimilate completely into U.S. culture, especially
after they marry and have children there. However, recent studies
show that immigrants, especially those of Latin American, Asian and
African descent, are retaining their original cultural values and
even passing them on to their children. In fact, it appears
cultural values are retained as far as the third generation in
immigrant groups. This book examines the strength of African
culture in African immigrant families in the United States.
Specifically, the book discusses the challenges African fathers
face in raising children in the United States, the conflicts
cultural values and norms cause in their families, and how
intercultural communication can help fathers and children manage
conflict. The book also discusses ways immigrant families can have
better ommunication and better understand the different cultural
perspectives that exist in their families.
