Reconnecting People To their African Roots
wow! I would love to see this!
I can’t wait to see the full documentary and show it to some students as well. Thanks for sharing.
Very thought-provoking–I look forward to seeing the complete film!!
Interesting. I believe that some African Americans take exception to “foreign Blacks” calling themselves African American, since we are not descendents of the enslaved Africans brought to America in the 1700-1800s.
But if President Obama can call himself African American, then I can too (even though my nationality is Jamaican).
looks great

Cristina, if you could kindly post another link to the article because this doesnt get us to what you want to show us.

Thandi, you can purchase the DVD at https://www.createspace.com/268394
or on Amazon. You can also purchase a video download on Amazon.
Interesting. I’d love to see the entire documentary. I have worked extensively with diverse populations including African immigrants and refugees in the areas of mental health and career counseling. I am African-American, meaning I was born here and I am married to a first generation African Immigrant from Mali. My interest in the diverse cultures, especially the African Diaspora, is fueled by information like your documentary. I am currently writing a paper on employment trends and the impact of cultural values on work ethics. It’s fantastic that you are pulling this all together, providing a historical and current view of Africans as well as statistics. Africans are most often left out of mainstream research on most subjects and issues. Thanks
@ Shonda. Thanks for your comment. The DVD will be available in February. I’ll notify you. Be sure to join the Facebook Group: The Neo-African-Americans
I would love to see this documentary
Really, the only way this is going to be an isssue is with the 2010AD US census. It will be interesting to see how Pre. Obama wrestle with the various entrenched gov’t agencies that have worked over CENTURIES TO SKEW OUR NUMERS, STASTITICS, AND CONDITIONS.
Other than that, “white”(caucasians) should be prevented from getting services aimed at minorities of color, simply because they are the historical oppressors!!!
African immigrantion is nothing new for the US, as well as blacks having a relative they can’t trace back to these shores from the 1800s. except for the expected freak-out in expoential increases in various populations of color, nothing is said of the steeper curve to be expected by 2020AD as third world ppls tend to procreate more than nordics.
Another video should be produced hailing the good news that Africa has surpassed the ONE BILLION(1,000,000,000)mark in population on the continent. Most of the world, including the UNO has been freaked into silence about this.
I am African. I would like to see the documentary
A very interested and revealing subject. How can I get involved?
I want to see it as well !
Please put me on your E-mail list. Send me newsletter.
My university is trying to bring this documentary to campus. I think it will provoke interesting conversation. I am especially wrestling with the knowledge that every African I have met in the U.S., specifically friends with whom I have been able to have deep conversation, has expressed disgust at the idea of being associated with African Americans and our history. They all expressed similar sentiments about African Americans not being politically savvy enough and not achieving better status and treatment. I will be interested to see if the transformational message of “Neo African American” is another way of saying what I have already heard and seen in the attitudes of Africans in this country toward African Americans… they are better than us therefore they will make being African American better.
Interesting…Thanks
Butterfly Lady:
It is true that some Black Africans look down upon African Americans. However, it seems to me that most Black Africans that do so are responding to the negative attitudes that many African Americans have toward THEM. Perhaps this documentary will help to promote what we all need–better understanding of ourselves and each other.
