Von Eschen offers a sweeping examination of the Cold War's afterlife and the lingering shadows it casts over geopolitics, journalism, and popular culture. She shows how myriad forms of nostalgia across the globe-from those that posit a mythic national past to those critical of neoliberalism that remember a time when people believed in the possibility of a collective good-indelibly shape the post-cold war era. When Western triumphalism moved into global South and former eastern bloc spaces, many articulated a powerful sense of loss and a longing for stability. Innovatively bringing together diplomatic archives, museums, films, and video games, Von Eschen shows that as the United States continuously sought new enemies for its unipolar world, Cold War triumphalism fueled the ascendancy of xenophobic right-wing nationalism and the embrace of authoritarian sensibilities in the United States and beyond. Ultimately, she demonstrates that triumphalist claims that capitalism and military might won the cold war distort the past and disfigure the present, undermining democratic values and institutions."--Provided by publisher.American encounters/global interactions.Cold War triumphalism and global disorder since 1989World politics1989-History, Modern1989-Cold WarCold WarInfluenceCold War in popular cultureUnited StatesForeign relations1989-United StatesPolitics and government1989-World politicsHistory, ModernCold War.Cold WarInfluence.Cold War in popular culture.909.829HIS037000POL011000bisacshVon Eschen Penny M(Penny Marie),917530NDDNDDBOOK9910705082903321Paradoxes of nostalgia3259105UNINA
