Growing up in Africa, then having to raise your own children in the
American society brings with it some complex issues. This study,
which was my dissertation research, investigated some experiences
of a selected number of immigrant families of Kenyan background who
were living in the U.S. The research focused on academic and
cultural issues. Some of the main themes that emerged included
family academic expectations, the role of the native language in
the families' homes, the children's identity formation process as
well as the racial relations between these families and other races
in America. Through a qualitative research methodology that
facilitated the collection of the participants' views and stories,
the parents and their children revealed their own experiences
within the society. A number of teachers too brought in their own
perspectives of these children and their families based on their
own interactions with them. In the face of a continuously and
rapidly growing number of African immigrants in the U.S., this work
was viewed as a significant contribution to the field of African
Diasporic Studies among other disciplines.
