Although Cameroon's image as a stable nation with a strong economy
may have mitigated against any large-scale migration by
Cameroonians following independence, the economic collapse
beginning in the mid-1980s and the coerced implementation of
democratic reforms in the early 1990s exposed fault lines in the
nation's economic and political institutions. As a result,
thousands of Cameroonians have left the country in search of a
better life abroad. While Europe remains the favorite destination
for many of these migrants, a significant number have also come to
the United States. Cameroonian Immigrants in the United States
examines the increase in the population of Cameroonians in the
United States in the last two decades, the difficulties that many
of them must endure in order to come to America, and the challenges
they face adapting to their new environment. Despite the problems
they face, these new immigrants are creating a home in America. At
the same time, however, they remain connected to their country of
birth through remittances to friends and family members and other
forms of investments and development projects in their communities.
