A recent coinage within international relations, "nation branding" designates the process of highlighting a country's positive characteristics for promotional purposes, using techniques similar to those employed in marketing and public relations. Nation Branding in Modern History takes an innovative approach to illuminating this contested concept, drawing on fascinating case studies in the United States, China, Poland, Suriname, and many other countries, from the nineteenth century to the present. It supplements these empirical contributions with a series of historiographical essays and analyses of key primary documents, making for a rich and multivalent investigation into the nexus of cultural marketing, self-representation, and political power.

Princess Praline, a beautiful Persian cat, overhears a conversation by her owners about the newest fashion craze to hit New Orleans...shiny red alligator shoes. Knowing that could only mean trouble for her alligator friends down in Bayou Black, Princess Praline and her best friend Mint Julep, set out one night to warn Garfield Gator, Governor of Bayou Black, of the impending trouble. Along the way, they meet various swamp friends who help them make their journey from the City of New Orleans to the swamp lands of Bayou Black to warn the alligators. I am 88 years old from Pearl River, Louisiana, located on the edge of the Honey Island Swamp. I have 6 children, 11 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. I love telling stories using local swamp animals and a mixture of French words, come alive in the minds of young children.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - and. Lander - Mittelalter, Fruhe Neuzeit, Note: 2,3, Universitat Trier, Veranstaltung: Europa im spaten Mittelalter - Politik, Kultur, Gesellschaft, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Schlacht von Tannenberg, fur die Deutschen, oder die Schlacht von Grunwald, fur die Polen, im Jahr 1410 ist zu einem Symbol geworden. Niederlage und Schmach des Deutschen Ordens auf der einen, Sieg und Triumph Polen-Litauens auf der anderen Seite. Aber weshalb standen sich der Deutsche Orden und die Personalunion aus Polen und Litauen gegenuber? Ging es dabei um Glauben oder politische Macht? Wie konnte aus dieser Schlacht ein so starkes politisches Symbol werden? Warum wurde sie in Polen zu einem Nationalmythos? Und wieso wurde die Schlacht 1914 unter anderen Bedingungen auf deutscher Seite als Revanche gewertet? Ich sehe darin einen der wichtigsten Momente in der deutsch-polnischen Geschichte, aber keinen Grund, dass es als Nationalmythos Polens fungiert.
