Sommario/riassunto

American literary nationalism is traditionally understood as a cohesive literary tradition developed in the newly independent United States that emphasized the unique features of America and consciously differentiated American literature from British literature. Robert S. Levine challenges this assessment by exploring the conflicted, multiracial, and contingent dimensions present in the works of late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American and African American writers. Conflict and uncertainty, not consensus, Levine argues, helped



define American literary nationalism during this period. <B

Title page; Book Presentation; Book Abstract; About the Author; Important Note About This Ebook; Summary of Exporting America (Lou Dobbs); Assault On Middle-Class Americans; The Myths Of Outsourcing And Free Trade; Myth No. 1: Outsourcing American jobs is good for our economy.; Myth No. 2: Outsourcing has improved productivity growth.; Myth No. 3: Outsourcing has created a demand for high-value jobs in America.; Myth No. 4: Outsourcing is simply a part of free trade and classical economists like Adam Smith and David Ricardo would have loved it.

Myth No. 5: Our economy and consumers are strong enough to run large chronic deficits and historically, a trade surplus is a sign of a weakening economy.Myth No. 6: The only alternative to free trade is protectionism or "economic isolationism."; Myth No. 7: Job retraining is the way to deal with outsourcing. Whenever industries and jobs leave our shores, we'll retrain the workers for better jobs.; Myth No. 8: Outsourcing benefits everyone. Look at what happens when Honda outsources to the United States and builds cars here. The United States is insourcing as many jobs as it's exporting.

Myth No. 9: The goal of outsourcing jobs overseas is to increase productivity, not simply to cut wage costs.Myth No. 10: When



Corporate America outsources jobs overseas, it enlarges its knowledge base and creates not only more jobs here, but high-value jobs.; Myth No. 11: We want to see countries like India prosper and outsourcing helps their economies and their workers.; Myth No. 12: U.S. multinationals are outsourcing because Americans aren't well enough educated to fill the jobs.

Myth No. 13: U.S. companies have to compete in a global market. Even if everyone agreed that outsourcing is terrible, there's no way to stop it.Finding The Solutions; Buy the Book; About the Summary Publisher; Copyright
