Building Cultural Awareness

I have recently become interested in finding out information about people from Africa (NOT African-Americans) living in America. People from Africa seem to have a much different outlook on American life and education than black Americans. I found this site that has a lot of essays written by Nigerians and some of the essays are quite interesting. There is a lot of information that can be gathered by reading the work on this site. I especially like the opinions expressed about the American culture.

Surprisingly, I also found a lot of information from the CIA's website: The World Factbook. Whereas this site doesn't give you specifics about individuals in the culture, it does give a good idea of what could be happening in any given part of the world that could be affecting people who are new to America.

Also, GoldSea Asian American Daily is a great news source for the Asian-American community.
