Summary
"In the early 21st century, the world has been seized by one of the most intense periods of anti-Americanism in history. Reviled as an imperialist power, an exporter of destructive capitalism, an arrogant crusader against Islam, and a rapacious over-consumer casually destroying the planet, the United States of America, it seems, has rarely been less esteemed in the eyes of the world." "In such an environment, one can easily overlook the fact that people from other countries have, in fact, been hating America for centuries. Going back to the day of Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin, Americans have long been on the defensive." "Barry Rubin and Judith Colp Rubin here draw on sources from a wide range of countries to track the entire trajectory of anti-Americanism. Most significantly, they identify how anti-Americanism evolved over time." "With this work, the Rubins trace the paradox that is America, a country that is both the most reviled and most envied land on Earth. In the end, they demonstrate, anti-Americanism has often been a visceral response to the very idea - as well as both the ideals and policies - of America itself, its aggressive innovation, its self-confidence, and the challenge it poses to alternative ideologies."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
