Produktbeschreibung
The fusion of two cultures has produced high
achievers in American schools for the children of
Nigerian immigrants. In this study, Nigerians
express the hopes and fears of immigrant parents and
their utmost devotion to seeing to it that their
children succeed in American schools. Nigerian-born
Dolapo Adeniji-Neill attributes the overwhelming
success of Nigerian American children in U.S schools
to their indigenous culture that stresses the
importance of education and the bringing-up of their
young as OMOLUABI, the arts and ways of the human being.

Adeniji-Neill distills the voices of her interviewees
into a Nigerian voluntary immigrants folk-theory of
parental expectations, and based on her own
experience in the classroom, a list of
recommendations for what teachers can do to support
and nurture immigrant children.

This is a lessons learned reference for political
decision-makers, school administrators, teachers, and
above all, parents, who are seeking to ease the path
for immigrant children and all minorities.
