About the Folio
Since the beginning of time, migration has been an essential part of the human experience. People have journeyed from home for myriad reasons: to forage and hunt for food, escape inclement weather and harsh environmental circumstances, trade goods and services, explore and, of course, to create a better life. This Folio follows six African authors, of fiction and nonfiction, across borders and over seas as they attempt to embrace a new life in their newly adopted homeland, the United States of America.Book selections
