An American college student traveling around Europe on a bicycle
with two friends arrived at a recent July 4th celebration in Moscow
and remarked, "We've been traveling around Europe and Russia for
almost a month now. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I never
wanted to see and hear Americans so much in my life. That would be
so corny back home. But here it just seems right" (Hartford
Courant, July 5, 1989, p. A2). Apparently you can take an American
out of America, but you cannot take America out of an American-and
perhaps this notion applies to other migrants as well. This is a
book that explores the experience of Americans abroad, specifi
cally those who are living in other countries of the developed
world with a lower standard of living than that of the United
States. This study compares the travels and travails of emigrants
to Australia and Israel and seeks to apply a social psychological
perspective to address three questions: (1) What accounts for the
motivation of migrants to move? (2) What are the sources of the
adjustment problems the migrants experience? (3) What explains
whether the migrants re main or return to the United States?
Ideally, it would be best to devise one instrument to gather data
on repre sentative samples of Americans living in a variety of
countries abroad, but such an effort is beyond the resources of
most researchers-including us."
