"Decentering" has fast become a dynamic approach to the study of
American cultural and diplomatic history. But what precisely does
decentering mean, how does it work, and why has it risen to such
prominence? This book addresses the attempt to decenter the United
States in the history of culture and international relations both
in times when the United States has been assumed to take center
place. Rather than presenting more theoretical perspectives, this
collection offers a variety of examples of how one can look at the
role of culture in international history without assigning the
central role to the United States. Topics include cultural
violence, inverted Americanization, the role of NGOs, modernity and
internationalism, and the culture of diplomacy. Each subsection
includes two case studies dedicated to one particular approach
which while not dealing with the same geographical topic or time
frame illuminate a similar methodological interest. Collectively,
these essays pragmatically demonstrate how the study of culture and
international history can help us to rethink and reconceptualize US
history today.
