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.

Are you a truly good sheep of Jesus Christ? Every Christian is familiar with the message of comfort and hope in His words: 'I am the good shepherd: I know my sheep and am known of mine.' But to walk with Christ is not as easy as you might think. Follow the careful instructions set out by the author of this book and you will find the right path to achieving a good sheep status. Accept your mistakes in humility and rid yourself of all things that hinder a good relationship with Jesus Christ. The author derives his message from biblical verses and parables in explaining the role of Jesus and His gift of Holy Spirit in making us live a Godly life. Here is a rich source of help and advice for anyone eager to become a follower of the good shepherd.

Mankind has a choice: either to accept the power of the God the creator or the power of Satan the created. Living with a natural power must definitely be influenced by the evil one; but God's power transforms the natural to the supernatural, which combats and defeats the power of Satan. How, then, can we acquire the former and escape the latter? Instructive and inspiring, this book provides the answers. The author reflects on how the power of God came to earth and how Jesus Christ came, recovering the power and the blessings lost by man. Your acceptance of Jesus Christ and the work He has done will bring in God's power with the authority to perform more than Jesus Christ did on earth. This is a truly reliable handbook for Christians who seek to safeguard their spiritual strength and put the gifts they receive to work in the ministry of Christ.

Comme dans chaque coin du monde, la Republique d'Adjopa presente des realites climatiques parfois redoutables. C'est le cas de l'harmattan qu'on rencontre dans la partie septentrionale du pays et dont les sevices sont relates plus precisement dans le village de Yeliwa. Un coup d' il furtif sur le quotidien des habitants du meme village laisse entrevoir comment les paysans associent aisement Allah a leurs croyances traditionnelles en creant par la un parfait syncretisme religieux. Youssif qui s'arroge parfois le role de narrateur dans le roman est ne et a grandi dans ce milieu plein de contrastes avant d'accumuler des succes scolaires qui le conduiront a l'Universite d'Adjopa ou il obtint son Diplome de Maitrise es-Lettres. Comme tout jeune intellectuel, Haman Youssif n'avait qu'un seul reve: monnayer son talent sur la terre de ses aieux, "-...changer de statut, jouir d'un numero matricule et redefinir sa valeur reelle d'homme et d'intellectuel-." Mais, helas Ce reve ne saura devenir realite, car Youssif fut victime de l'injustice alors qu'il se croyait parmi les laureats du concours de recrutement des enseignants auxiliaires, organise par le Ministere de l'Education Nationale. Suite a cet echec inattendu, le malheureux candidat s'envola au pays de l'Oncle Sam ou il temoigna des ses propres yeux des conditions de vie et de travail des immigrants a l'instar de Camara et Mousbaou. A travers l'experience de Djanfarou et sa femme Sekina, il y a lieu de comprendre que l'obtention du visa a Adjopa pouvait aussi etre risquee et meme lever le voile sur le monde traditionnel et ses mysteres. La joie de Sekina de rejoindre son mari apres une decennie d'attente n'aura ete que de courte duree. Ailleurs est-il vraiment meilleur? La reponse a cette question reste soumise a la reflexion du lecteur.
