Today's
American Ex-Pats

September 2005

An estimated 180,000 Americans live in France and Spain. These nine Americans traveled to Europe for various combinations of work, adventure, school or a better standard of living. In conversation, they switch back and forth between “us” and “them” meaning Americans/Europeans not quite sure which group they belong to. Seeing The United States from the outside looking in, they reflect on the difference between the American and European press, American foreign policy, Iraq and what it’s like being an American abroad during heightened anti-Americanism.
