African-Americans and their descendants who have been living in the United States since the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade have questioned their bonds and links with Africa. Recently the number of new African immigrants has increased in the United States which creates a new context for this debate. To enrich the understanding of a very important but neglected topic of community formation and social relations, this paper uses a case study method to examine the relationship between these two groups and uses the city of Worcester as a case study. \u00a0The findings indicate that there are complex social tensions between newly migrated Africans and African-Americans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords: Africans, <\/strong>African-Americans, community formation, social tension, Massachusetts<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cataloged by:<\/strong> Selina Sikder\/ B.
