This book argues against the tendency to see America as the worst
or best nation and instead presents a case for seeing
anti-Americanism as a counterproductive prejudice. There are many
reasons to criticise American policies, politics and even society,
but a crucial distinction must be drawn between criticism and
prejudice. Charting the development and adaptation of this
anti-American tradition, O'Connor maintains that it is important to
contextualise it within the particularities of the American
experience and the global reach of the United States' influence and
power. He argues for a move away from stereotypes and caricatures
towards more specific and profitable discussions about American
actions and policies. Offering precise and useful ways of
understanding anti-Americanism and American exceptionalism that
place the terms in their relevant political contexts, this volume
is a useful and engaging resource for those researching or studying
American politics and ideology, foreign policy, American culture
and international relations.
