The contributors to this volume recognize Americanism in all its complexity--as an ideology, an articulation of the nation's rightful place in the world, a set of traditions, a political language, and a cultural style imbued with political meaning. In response to the pervasive vision of Americanism as a battle cry or a smug assumption, this collection of essays stirs up new questions and debates that challenge us to rethink the model currently being exported, too often by force, to the rest of the world.Crafted by a cast of both rising and renowned intellectuals 606 $aNational characteristics, American 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations 615 0$aNational characteristics, American. 676 $a973 701 $aKazin$b Michael$f1948-$0476731 701 $aMcCartin$b Joseph Anthony$01625889 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815018303321 996 $aAmericanism$93961619 997 $aUNINA
