Requests:  0 Summary:  "In the wake of the September 11 attacks and the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, Suzy Hansen, who grew up in an insular conservative town in New Jersey, was enjoying early success as a journalist for a high-profile New York newspaper. Increasingly, though, the disconnect between the chaos of world events and the response at home took on pressing urgency for her. Seeking to understand the Muslim world that had been reduced to scaremongering headlines, she moved to Istanbul. Hansen arrived there with romantic ideas about a mythical city perched between East and West, and with a naive sense of the Islamic world beyond. Over the course of her many years of living in Turkey and traveling throughout Greece, Egypt, Afghanistan, and Iran, she learned a great deal about these countries and their cultures, histories, and politics. But the greatest, most unsettling surprise would be what she learned about her own country--and herself, an American abroad in the era of America's decline. It would take leaving her home to discover what she came to think of as the two Americas: the country and its people, and the experience of American power around the world. She came to understand that anti-Americanism is not a violent pathology. It is, Hansen writes, "a broken heart ... a hundred-year-old relationship." Blending memoir, journalism, and history, and deeply attuned to the voices of those she met on her travels, Notes on a Foreign Country is a moving reflection on America's place in the world. It is a powerful journey of self-discovery and revelation--a profound reckoning with what it means to be an American in a time of grave national and global turmoil."--Jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 070.92 Hansen Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Hansen Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Hansen Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Hansen Ha Memoir Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Hansen Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Hansen Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 070.92 Hansen Ha   Checked In Add Copy to MyList
