Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index An expatriate is someone temporarily or permanently in a country and culture other than that of their upbringing and/or legal residence. Expatriate culture, such as that of the British in India or East Africa can become quite distinct and is often subject to parody and ridicule. Expatriates often find, on returning to their country of origin, that it has developed in ways they find incomprehensible; leading to a sense of alienation and anomie. This article is from Wikipedia.
