This is the story of an illustrious Romanian-born, Hungarian-speaking, Vienna-schooled, Columbia-educated and Harvard-formed, middle-class Jewish professor of politics and other subjects. Markovits revels in a rootlessness that offers him comfort, succor, and the inspiration for his life’s work. As we follow his quest to find a home, we encounter his engagement with the important political, social, and cultural developments of five decades on two continents. We also learn about his musical preferences, from classical to rock; his love of team sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball, and American football; and his devotion to dogs and their rescue. Above all, the book analyzes the travails of emigration the author experienced twice, moving from Romania to Vienna and then from Vienna to New York. Markovits’s Candide-like travels through the ups and downs of post-1945 Europe and America offer a panoramic view of key currents that shaped the second half of the twentieth century. By shedding light on the cultural similarities and differences between both continents, the book shows why America fascinated Europeans like Markovits and offered them a home that Europe never did: academic excellence, intellectual openness, cultural diversity and religious tolerance. America for Markovits was indeed the “beacon on the hill,” despite the ugliness of its racism, the prominence of its everyday bigotry, the severity of its growing economic inequality, and the presence of other aspects that mar this worthy experiment’s daily existence.

"This piece is part of a series of attempts to make sense of a place, of a culture, of a system. How can something so small as a passport be so defining of someone’s life experience? Is the commodification of nature still a symptom of a colonialist process? Using the format of a passport, I collected stickers from fruits and vegetables that I consumed in my first months in the US; I had recently gone through the process of having to apply for a visa. The stamp I got in my passport is the reason I can be here now. Eating and sleeping in a different land than the one where I was born and grew up in. Eating the fruits grown in a land much more like my own. We both -- me and the fruits -- traveled and crossed borders. I designed pages with mountains and palm trees, reflecting the landscape I now see every day. I bound these pages together. On the [first page], one sentence from Frantz Fanon is split in two: “the settler’s town is a well-fed town / its belly is always full of good things.”"--from publisher

The sight of a place he called home since birth faded in the distance. He trembled. It was a complete paradox since his pounding heart sunk out of both fear and excitement as he crossed the border into a new country and a world of the unknown. Everything including his name immediately changed and he became a foreigner and a refugee. An unjustified stigma followed him. Life was never the same. He was treated like an outcast, felt unwelcome, prejudiced and constantly sidelined. He was labelled and branded, "The first suspect." He longed for a world free of stereotypes and xenophobia. He wondered and got lost in his thoughts. With his passport safely stuck deep in his pocket, his spirit magically wrote letters, his soul sung songs and lullabies; his heart recited poetry and his inner being painted a mosaic picture portraying the trials and tribulations of a son away from home. The world of genuine brotherhood, humanity, love and tolerance across different nationalities and various cultures remained a far-fetched dream.
