Through analyses of several key post-Soviet American popular and political texts, including the hit television series The West Wing, Washington D.C.'s International Spy Museum, and the legislative hearings of the Freedom Support Act and the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, Williams calls attention to the production and operation of five types of "gendered Russian imaginaries" that were explicitly used to bolster support for and legitimize U.S. geopolitical unilateralism after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, demonstrating the ways that the masculinization of U.S. military, political, and financial power after 1991 paved the way for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aNationalism$zUnited States 606 $aMass media and nationalism$zUnited States 606 $aMass media and international relations 606 $aNational characteristics, Russian 606 $aNational characteristics in mass media 606 $aSex role 606 $aNationalism and feminism 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zSoviet Union 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aMass media and nationalism 615 0$aMass media and international relations. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Russian. 615 0$aNational characteristics in mass media. 615 0$aSex role. 615 0$aNationalism and feminism. 676 $a303.48/24707309045 700 $aWilliams$b Kimberly A$g(Kimberly Ann),$f1975-$01811010 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954896003321 996 $aImagining Russia$94362605 997 $aUNINA
