Summary:
En este libro, Jorge G. Castañeda presenta una revisión analítica e intuitiva de su experiencia en el país durante el último medio siglo y deja claro por qué los extranjeros pueden ayudar a desentrañar la verdadera naturaleza de Estados Unidos. Basado en su experiencia directa y en un amplio conocimiento de las más diversas fuentes, Castañeda examina los aspectos fundamentales de la historia y la cultura estadounidense, tanto los luminosos como los problemáticos: el surgimiento de la primera clase media del mundo, la democracia y sus descontentos, el sincretismo cultural, el humor autocrítico, el genio innovador, la hipocresía de sus políticas migratorias y antidrogas, la pena de muerte, el racismo, la religión, y el diseño inteligente.
