Another Chance, Maybe the Last   unravels one of the most controversial words in the U.S. - 'African American'. This book gives both the African born in America and the African living in America an opportunity to come together and explore common heritage and culture.

Another Chance, Maybe the Last is an insightful book that shares some of the common beliefs and misconceptions among Africans and Africa-Americans. It not only tells of the history of Africa but gives insight into the journey from Africa to the U.S. and helps encourage our youth to share the truth about our connection.

Through the pages of this book, I introduce you to the importance of embracing your culture, your heritage in order to develop your true identity and to connect from which you came.

It is true that no man is an island. We do not exist just within ourselves. We are made up of those who came before us. The history of our existence is vital to understanding how we fit in the world and how we fit with one another. Another Chance, Maybe the Last illustrates Africa's history, the painful journey of slavery, the ramifications of slavery, and how parts of our history has disconnected us - from ourselves, from our people, and from our country.

To fully embrace who we are as a people, we need to KNOW one another as a people, and that's a main purpose behind the creation of this book. It is important for my African American cousins to know about the culture of Africa - how we value family, relationship, children, education, finances, and more.

A native of the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire, Keleti Sanon has lived in the United States for over 20 years. After being welcomed by African Americans, he would like to give a gift in return a better understanding of African culture. This book will be a great tool for teachers, families, college students and anyone interested in cultural learning. As America melts together into one pot, may this book help retain the distinct and wonderful flavor that is both African and American.
