"Douglas McGill is a complete original.
Heavyweight journalism + a grownup
political conscience + wry
Zen consciousness."
-- Mark Kramer, Harvard University

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.
