Africans and Americans: Embracing Cultural Differences

Описание: My name is Joseph Mbele, CEO of Africonexion, a cultural consulting company This is my first video on YouTube talking about my book, Africans and Americans: Embracing Cultural Differences.

The book is available at http://www.lulu.com/shop/joseph-mbele... and other internet sites.

Here is a review on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Africans-And-Am...

"Mbele takes on the arduous task of comparing American and African cultural differences, focusing mostly on Tanzanian culture and customs - and he does this in less than 100 pages. Anyone interested in this topic will find mostly anecdotal comments and observations from someone who has spent time on both continents. In the end Mbele notes that people are different and that we should embrace and accommodate our differences as much as possible. This is a good book with good information to consider if you are traveling to Africa anytime soon or hosting an exchange student from Africa.

I am traveling to Tanzania later this year as part of a faculty exchange program and found Mbele's comments and observations useful. I was very glad to discover that many Tanzanians appreciate good beer and that the overall pace of life is a bit slower than that found in the US. I'm was already looking forward to the trip and after reading this book I am even more excited. Asante sana Prof. Mbele!"
