Do You Have a Story to Tell ?
Americans who live abroad , who number approximately 4 million, and those who have
returned to the U.S. represent a particularly rich – if little understood – part
of our national character.
If you think you have a story to tell, this is your opportunity. Send us a story, ideally between 2,000 and 3,000 words (see below for more information) about your experiences living in a foreign country or working on a foreign assignment. Tell us about joys and frustrations, what viewing your country from the outside in is like, or how you relate to the United States you left behind.
In
the immortal words of Mark Twain,
“Travel
is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our
people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views
of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of
the earth all one's lifetime”.
Please
pass this on to anyone whom you think might also
wish to contribute, and let us know if you have any questions.
