Macdonald M. Metzger, 2021

Research on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has given little attention to the study of IPV or domestic abuse among African immigrants in the U.S. The Cage I Built provides an insider's perspective on the problem of intimate partner abuse or domestic abuse within African immigrant communities in the United States. In this book, Dr. Metzger shared his experiences of abuse as a child, and as an adult. He looked at the experiences of new immigrants who often experience higher levels of abuse and exploitation by their partners. He became particularly interested in writing on this topic because of his personal experiences with IPV. These experiences date as far back as his childhood in Liberia, West Africa. This book is dedicated to all immigrant women who are survivors of IPV. Who is this book for? This book is for: • African immigrant women who are living with an abusive partner and want to learn about resources and supports that are available to them. • African immigrant youth and adults who are perpetrators of IPV and want to change their behaviors and attitudes. • Anyone who wants to learn about IPV in African immigrant communities. • Professionals who work in the human and social services field in African immigrant communities.
