New Faces at the Crossroads: The World in Central Indiana

'I had heard Indiana was not one of the more friendly states that were open to foreigners . . . but my experience has been the total opposite. Everywhere you go, as long as you are genuine with who you are . . . people are willing to open up the doors of opportunity for you without looking at what your cultural background is. It's really one of the things I love about this state.' —Olawalle Mafolasire, from Ibadan, Nigeria

'New Faces at the Crossroads illustrates the recent dramatic changes to the human landscape of central Indiana. Together, native-born and foreign-born Hoosiers are learning not simply to talk about 'diversity,' but to live it.' --Bart Peterson, Mayor of Indianapolis
