About This Item
New York:: Edward Burlingame / Harper Collins,, (1990). First edition -. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.. Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. ) Selected by WorldHum in 2006 as one of the top 30 literary travel books of all time: "Like a modern-day Alexis de Tocqueville, Jonathan Raban has traveled the length and breadth of the United States, observing Americans with the keen eye of a foreigner. [This] book traverses the pathways of American immigration from late 19th century Ellis Island to late 20th century Seattle. In the book, Raban fully inhabits each place he visits, even borrowing an old black labrador named Gypsy in Alabama to feel more at home among the locals. He investigates whether a foreigner can truly become an American. In the end Raban realizes that one can adopt American ways but can never become completely American." 372 pp.
