Kitabu Muhimu kwa Wageni Marekani

Tarehe 11 mwezi huu, nilipata ujumbe kutoka kwa jamaa aishiye eneo la kati la jimbo hili la Minnesota. Anasema kuwa wana jumuia yao ambayo inawakaribisha na kuwasaidia wahamiaji na wakimbizi kimaisha. 

Anasema kuwa wanatumia kitabu changu, Africans and Americans: Embracing Cultural Differences, na wanakiona ni bora sana kwa malengo yao. Kauli kama hizi si ngeni kwangu. Nimezisikia tangu mwaka 2005 nilipochapisha kitabu. Sehemu ya ujumbe ni hii hapa:

I  have been involved with a local organization in St. Joe that works to help refugees and immigrants adjust to and succeed in central Minnesota. Our group is called Cultural Bridges. 

I have been sharing your book, Africans and Americans: Embracing Cultural Differences, with members of our group. Everyone who has read it has really enjoyed it and we see it as an excellent resource as we work to fulfill our mission as an organization.
