American society has long placed high expectations on our schools
to advance this nation's prospects or to help resolve many of its
ills. Throughout America's history, however, immigrant children
have experienced difficulties adjusting to their new lives in our
schools. This experience has been the fate of many African students
who come to America with hopes of securing an excellent education,
a better future, and a chance at the American dream; instead, they
frequently find disappointment. Much of this frustration stems from
the marginalization of African and African-American history and
cultural studies in the curriculums of many American schools. The
absence of any realistic exploration of Africa or Africans in
American society has led to cases of harassment, teasing, and
racially charged environments. This Isn't the America I Thought I'd
Find explores the African student experience and offers advice for
teachers seeking to facilitate a deeper appreciation of the
emotional and historical connections between people of African
descent and all Americans.
