''Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America'' is a 2009 non-fiction book by Rich Benjamin. In May 2010, Benjamin briefly summarized his experiences in a TED talk.〔() ''My Road Trip Through the Whitest Towns in America''〕 ==Overview== African American journalist Rich Benjamin documents his journeys to find out why more and more white Americans move to small towns and areas that are, for the most part, white, and to explain why Whitopias are growing and what it means for the United States. Benjamin mounted a two-year tour of the United States, covering 26,907 miles (43,303 km), looking for "Whitopias", which he defined as:〔() ''Searching For Whitopia'', p. 2〕 *an area which has experienced at least 6% growth rate since 2000; *the great majority of that growth consists of white persons; *the area has a pleasant look, feel, ambiance, or charm. He spent several months in three such areas: St. George, Utah, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and Forsyth County, Georgia (north of Atlanta). In each case, he generated a master plan to thoroughly immerse himself in the community's core, with lists of the power brokers, the important groups, and the significant events. He tried to volunteer or involve himself with those people and groups. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Searching for Whitopia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
