Özet:

 

I remember the first time, several years ago, that I  an American woman, raised in a white,  middle-class suburb on the West Side of Cleveland, Ohio  saw a world map that was not made in  America. Something was desperately wrong with it. Where was Cleveland? The map was  manufactured in Britain, and in the fairly central position where I thought Cleveland should be, I  believe I saw Edinburgh. Cleveland was somewhere to the left – to the West – and the massive  American continent that I was so used to seeing centered and whole was, fundamentally, cut in half  and “marginalized,” in a most literal way, while the United Kingdom was smack in the middle,  floating there in a glistening, always sunny sea.
