AFRICANS IN NEW YORK  

Anyone can notice a considerable degree of racism in the exchanges between the African and African-American communities in New York. African-Americans are not African any more. There are no references to Africa in their discourses. The African community’s arrival with its mosques, restaurants and shops in a neighbourhood like Harlem sparks tensions and nobody says, “Here come our African brothers!” Africans and their American cousins live side-by-side without actually mixing. This is a daily reality in this part of New York where the African population, especially from Senegal, has grown considerably.
For most New Yorkers, this new wave of immigration is incarnated by the street-sellers seen everywhere in Manhattan’s shopping areas. They sell false Rolex watches,          T-shirts, or umbrellas. However, people do not really know much about them, beyond this reductive stereotype. People do not adventure into their “territory” in west Harlem, Little Senegal, which is indeed quite another world.
Some black Americans do make the effort to seek to re-appropriate their African roots. They can sometimes be seen eating at the African restaurants or buying cloth, craftwork, or music at Harlem’s African market on a quick, imaginary journey. After all, Little Senegal already offers a real taste of America.
