| Abstract | History shifted into fast-forward in 1989, toppling the Berlin Wall and liberating Eastern Europe from Soviet dominion. Just a few months later, the first group of East German exchange students was off for a yearlong stay in a hitherto forbidden land: the United States. Their wide range of reactions, from sheer enthusiasm to intelligent criticism, are the subject of this book. Recounted by two independent journalists, it is the story of the land they came from and the land they returned to. It is a story of innocence (and experience) abroad, of childhood dreams and adult realities, and of the meaning of freedom in an uncertain world |
