The period from 1945 to the present day may not constitute an
American century, but it can be seen as the American Moment: the
time when, for good or ill, the United States became the
predominant political, military, economic and cultural power in the
world. This revised and updated new edition introduces the historic
and tumultuous developments in American politics, foreign policy,
society and culture during this period. It includes coverage of key
recent events, such as the: - 2008 election of Barack Obama -
global recession - protracted war in Iraq and Afghanistan - rise of
the internet - transformation of American Society and Culture -
challenges of new immigration and multi-culturalism - changing
global status of the US in the new millennium. Examining the
American Moment in a global context, the authors emphasise the
interaction between politics, society and culture. America Since
1945 encourages an awareness of how central currents in art,
literature, film, theatre, intellectual history and media have
developed alongside an understanding of political, economic and
social change.
