John Quincy Adams warned Americans not to search abroad for
monsters to destroy, yet such figures have frequently habituated
the discourses of U.S. foreign policy. This collection of essays
focuses on counter-identities in American consciousness to explain
how foreign policies and the discourse surrounding them develop.
Whether it is the seemingly ubiquitous evil of Hitler during World
War II or the more complicated perceptions of communism throughout
the Cold War, these essays illuminate the cultural contexts that
constructed rival identities. The authors challenge our
understanding of "others," looking at early applications of the
concept in the eighteenth century to recent twenty-first century
conflicts, establishing how this phenomenon is central to decision
making through centuries of conflict.
