There are many reasons to criticise American policies, politics and even society, but a crucial distinction must be drawn between criticism and prejudice. Charting the development and adaptation of this anti-American tradition, O'Connor maintains that it is important to contextualise it within the particularities of the American experience and the global reach of the United States' influence and power. He argues for a move away from stereotypes and caricatures towards more specific and profitable discussions about American actions and policies. Offering precise and useful ways of understanding anti-Americanism and American exceptionalism that place the terms in their relevant political contexts, this volume is a useful and engaging resource for those researching or studying American politics and ideology, foreign policy, American culture and international relations. 650 0 $a Anti-Americanism. 650 0 $a Exceptionalism $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign public opinion. 650 7 $a Anti-Americanism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810284 650 7 $a Exceptionalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748515 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 830 0 $a Routledge studies in US foreign policy. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F238A4DA083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
