ENCOUNTERING THE OTHER; BIBLIOGRAPHY; INDEX; ABOUT THE AUTHORIn Mary Manjikian's Apocalypse and Post-Politics: The Romance of the End, apocalypse-themed novels of contemporary America and historic Britain are affirmed as a creative luxury of development. Manjikian examines a number of such novels using the lens of an international relations theorist, identifying faults in the logic of the American exceptionalists and showing that the apocalyptic narrative provides both a counterpoint and a corrective to the narrative of exceptionalism. </spanAmerican fictionHistory and criticismApocalypse in literatureEnd of the world in literatureExceptionalismUnited StatesElectronic books.American fictionHistory and criticism.Apocalypse in literature.End of the world in literature.Exceptionalism813/.009353Manjikian Mary855117MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462119503321Apocalypse and post-politics1909268UNINA
