Publisher Notes
This book began with a chance encounter. On a summer evening late in the 1980s a young black man stopped me to ask for directions in the English town where I used to live. That was no surprise. Asian, African, Afro-Caribbean, black British, and white people all lived in the neighborhood. His speech, however was American, and I was delighted to hear it. I speak American too, despite my long time overseas, and he was just as glad to hear me.
Media Reviews
"...it is useful to have this line of study extended from the arts into public life, from the culture into the American character....a useful contribution to our ever changing, ever more complex, understanding of who we are."
