African Americans, both U.S. and foreign born, confront multidimensional problems that range from prejudicial perceptions to illusory generalizations. For many foreign-born African American males, problems include difficulty adjusting to a new cultural environment, xenophobia, and miscategorization. Despite such problems, they are able to succeed and excel in their chosen professions. In this article, case studies are used to reveal how foreign-born African American males turn barriers into opportunities. Additionally, the authors discuss implicit and explicit motivational factors that assist them in maximizing their fullest potential in mainstream American society
