Book Synopsis
This insightful book explores the experiences of African students in the U.S. It adopts a phenomenological, inductive approach. As human beings, we are uniquely bound to our stories, memories, and histories. Using the personal stories of eleven African students, the book confronts the question, what is it like for Africans to detach from their heritage and home, and become students in the U.S.? Being an African Student will aid in making curricula more effective and attentive to the needs of international students. The reader will see the connection between their own stories, the students'' stories, and larger stories of culture and humanity.
