In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

Story0
Drie eeuwen lang spraken overal in de staten New York en New Jersey mensen de Tawl, de Amerikaanse versie van het Nederlands. Het was een overblijfsel van de tijd waarin New York nog Nieuw-Amsterdam heette en je zonder het Nederlands nergens kwam aan de oostkust van Amerika. In De Tawl gaat historicus Philip Dröge al fietsend over Amerikaanse wegen op zoek naar wat er nu nog over is van dat Nederlandstalige verleden. Het resultaat is een opmerkelijk verhaal over de Nederlandse oorsprong van woorden als 'OK' en 'dope' en over gekke rechters, slavernij, komieken en oplichters.

Story0
Though we're known as a nation of English speakers, the linguistic map of the United States is hardly monochromatic. While much ado has been made about the role that Spanish may play in our national future, it would be a gross misrepresentation to label America a bilingual country. On the contrary, our languages are as varied as our origins. There is Basque in Nevada, Arabic in Detroit, Gullah in South Carolina. We speak European, Asian, and American Indian languages; we speak creoles, jargons, and pidgins.
