Foreigner: a person not
belonging to a particular
place or group; a
stranger or outsider
There is no such thing as homo Americanus. There is no single culture here. We do not, in fact, have a culture at all — at least, not a highly developed one, whose symbols, images, and ideas all of us work out of and constantly mine afresh; such "common culture" as even intellectuals have is more an ideal aspired to than a task accomplished.” (Kim p. 24)
