Imagine being stranded in a flash flood in the mountains of Western China or being robbed by bandits in the Guatemalan jungle. Envision yourself joining a dance at a funeral in West Africa or becoming a guest of honor at a wedding on an island in rural Indonesia. From Voodoo to Candomble, from elephant parades to Silk Road market towns, What’s an American Doing Here? explores wonderful places where few American tourists tread.
The opportunity for understanding and relating to the world is there for the taking, but most Americans choose not to venture outside of protected and limited areas. We can become more functional and more productive citizens of the world if we take a few risks and step away from the familiar. Stanley Diamond's adventurous travel to remote corners of the world provides inspiration to the prospective and seasoned traveler alike. As a life-long educator, his observations about the value and meaning of such travel are thoughtful and informative, while his encounters with all kinds of people in unusual places offer knowledge, humor, surprise and joy. Stan's memoir begins with his childhood thumbing through pictures in an old World Book Encyclopedia and continues through his development as an enthusiastic voyager to some of the least likely destinations imaginable.
