Did the U.S. really "save the world" in World War II? Should black athletes stop protesting and have more gratitude for what America has done for them? Are wars fought to spread freedom and democracy? Or is this all fake news? American Exceptionalism and American Innocence examines the stories we're told that lead us to think that the U.S. is a force for good in the world, regardless of slavery, the genocide of indigenous people, and the more than a century's worth of imperialist war that the U.S. has wrought on the planet. Sirvent and Haiphong detail just what Captain America's shield tells us about the pretensions of U.S. Foreign policy, how Angelina Jolie and Bill Gates engage in humanitarian imperialism, and why the Broadway musical Hamilton is a monument to white supremacy.--Jacket. 650 0 $a National characteristics, American $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Exceptionalism $z United States. 650 0 $a Fake news $z United States. 650 0 $a Press and politics $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Nationalism $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Psychological aspects. $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Americanization. 700 1 $a Haiphong, Danny, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20191003010631.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1EFDDDB4E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
