Some to take note of are:

Glorious Exit: a perceptive and moving study of intercultural communication and multicultural understanding as a Swiss-German-Nigerian man prepares for the funeral of his Nigerian father.

Pro-Black Sheep: a contemporary acerbic black comedy that examines, intellectualism, politics, black male mentorship and the role of black males in the Black community. It could be used very effectively in the secondary classroom as a discussion starter with mature students.
