Integration and Co-existence of Immigrants

The migration and settlement of immigrants in Cameroon- Africa, was greatly felt in the late 1960s during the period of civil unrest in some African countries. In this region, the immigrants had to integrate and co-exist with the inhabitants. These immigrants are mostly involved in trade and in a lesser extend agricultural activities. These immigrants through their various forms of socio-economic activities played an important role in the development of the area, but the challenges face by these immigrants in their integration and co-existing process such as high and numerous taxes, lacks of equal access to employment, language difficulties, resident permit, xenophobic attitudes of the natives affected their activities and led many who could not cope with the challenges to leave the area to other countries in and out of Africa. Therefore, this book provides an analytical aspect of challenges and methods by which immigrants and nations can overcome the problem of integration and co-existence in their regions. It therefore becomes apparent that immigrants, students, teachers, administrators, Governments, social affairs ministries, and the general public need a book as such.
