AFRICAN ALIENS
Friday, October 10, 2008
183 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); catalogue #05-1300; ISBN 1-4120-6389-2; US$16.61, C$19.10, EUR12.95, £8.58 An authentic and grasping story, with sly humour, of African immigrants in Paris facing a seemingly irreconcilable culture clash laden with racism and self destructiveness. This is the pulsating underbelly of Paris that tourists never experience. About the Book Sainy, a young Gambian, leaves the Gambia for Paris. Like most young Africans he arrives with high hopes for a better life. Confronted by a minefield of immigration restrictions with which he struggles vainly, he accepts an easy way in by marrying a Gambian-born divorcée and becoming the step-father of the woman's young son. As the months pass, Sainy learns new facts about the Africans living in France. He sees how their home-grown values of culture and community and morality adapt in their new culture, for better or worse. (Source: http://www.trafford.com/05-1300) |
