Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Identity is a tricky question for African immigrants and their American born children in the United States. Though eager to migrate to the US, and happy to lead successful lives there, many do worry that they, and their children, lose their connection to their homeland. Aunties often mutter about children becoming too American. Or forgetting where they come from. But not everyone agonises over this as Leslie Goffe has been discovering, some feel they've got the best of all worlds.
