Americans
by Edward Countryman
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.
