Good work Spiff.....what was the title of the book out a few years back by the black writer who had covered Africa for a number of years and in the book he details his appreciation that thru fate he had been born here rather than West Africa?

[Misterioso]

The book you ask about is "Out of America" by Keith B. Richburg (New Republic/Basic Books, 1997). Excellent book.
