HERE: A GLOBAL CITIZEN'S JOURNEY
When 9/11 struck, the consequences
of American ignorance
of the world became
frighteningly clear.
In response, Doug McGill, a former New York Times reporter who now
lives in
Rochester, Minnesota, began to look
at how
the people and
cultures of the entire planet were
present in the rural
Minnesota community where he lived.
The result is a portrait of
a specific American place where all of the
flavors, colors,
and personalities
of foreign lands are reflected, and global
economic, social,
and environmental trends are intricately at work.
