Review of Black and African


Diana Opong

Posted on August 16, 2008 at 10:36 AM

This piece shows the at times minute yet prevalent issues that exist between these two cultural groups. It's a very truthful and accurate account of the perception Africans have of their Black-American counterparts. The dichotomy between both cultural groups is presented well and it's a look at an issue within the "black community" that not many people may be aware of.
