I’m answering a few questions raised by Professor Vivian Salama for her class on international reporting.

I hope it’s helpful to students interested in international journalism. Check out my site at www.washingtonpost.com/america and email me anytime at amar.bakshi[at]washingtonpost.com

The last time I was in the UK, I was a college kid on my way home from senior thesis research in Zimbabwe — and from five days in jail. Needless to say, I was shaken up.

In that African dictatorship I first experienced the downside to being an American, especially a curious one with a video camera asking too many questions about state propaganda. But that wasn’t all. During my five days in detention, the guards who harassed me with cookie-cutter anti-American rhetoric also treated me as an object of fascination, asking questions about American obesity, the White House, and Michael Moore.

Now I’m headed back across the Atlantic, this time to explore other peoples’ views of America and their stories of how my home has impacted their lives.
