Description
In some parts of the world, people throw parties when they get a visa to come to America. What awaits them in America is often not of great concern to them at that point. After all, they have consumed and internalized the sanitized one-sided stories of life in America from the media, from returnees, and most recently, from well-choreographed, and often, photoshopped images on social media. But the real America waits in ambush for every new arrival, ever ready to transform his or her life for better or for worse. This American Life Sef! explores the lives of African immigrants in America in Rudolf Okonkwo's trademark wit, that will leave you smiling and thinking. Okonkwo spares the reader of any embellishment. With This American Life Sef, prospective immigrants do not have to blindly wait to get to the bridge before they arm themselves with the tools they need to cross it. Africans living abroad, especially in Europe and Asia, can relate to the stories in this new and expanded edition of Okonkwo's classic.
