David A. Bedford was born in Fort Worth, Texas, grew up in Argentina, and moved to the United States for his studies. He attended Texas Tech University and received a BA and MA, before attending The University of Texas at Austin, where he earned his PhD in foreign language education. He has prepared new missionaries for language study, served as a consultant for the Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board, and served as the Language Lab Director and Adjunct Professor of Spanish at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. After a four and a half year stint directing the Portuguese Language School in Campinas, David accepted a position at Texas Christian University where he is an instructor of Spanish.
"Land of the Free" is a history of the US cast as a memoir in two cultures. Navigating between two nations, Author David A. Bedford discovered the cultural differences and similarities between Argentina and the US. The typical themes and ideas, heard and repeated over the years, have characterized our societies and are often accepted and taken for granted by most people. They exert a powerful influence on people's attitudes, emotions, and sometimes unconsciously their behavior. In this book, David A. Bedford was compelled to share ideas and themes that struck him, and show how they affect lives. He also demonstrates how those themes evolved throughout history and what we can do as a society to think more consciously today. Two nations, one man. "Land of the Free."
