Growing up in a Home Counties New Town with Barbadian parents, he had to look elsewhere for a sense of racial identity; he found it across the Atlantic, in America's Deep South.

Younge is a fine journalist - thoroughgoing, clear-minded and meticulous, and he writes in measured, lucid prose . . . Next, please take a trip around the UK, Gary Younge, and write about it. Your country needs you' Evening Standard `A lively fusion of travelogue, research and memoir' The Times `Perceptive, thought-provoking . . . the author views America from an unusual angle and challenges the British reader's preconceptions' Times Literary Supplement
