Awoshakin Launches New Book on Immigration

There has been much discussion on the subject of immigration in America post the event of September 11, 2001. This has produced questions and concerns, but few from a personal standpoint. Tokunbo Awoshakin, the executive director of Civic Life International has written an interesting and eye-opening story on new African immigration in the United States. The book titled: Lost & Found In America: The story of New African immigrants in United States has been described by Dayton Weekly News as “ Real, fascinating and humorous” The book explores a variety of issues that exemplifies the level of racism that still plagues American society including effect the September 11, 2001 attack on the United States had on everyone – not only Americans, but also on citizens in other countries who plan to come, wish to live, or choose to visit the United States.  In Lost and Found in America, Awoshakin uses engaging prose, honest dialogue and “real” situations to unveil the difficult challenges; the triumphs and the various circumstances of life and living for foreign born people in post-9/11 America.
