Americentrism
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Blend of America + -centrism.
Senses: examples: text: American education, if it is centered on anything, is centered on itself. It is “Americentric.” Most American students today have never studied any world history, they know very little about Europe, and even less about the rest of the world.

When the Berlin Wall was opened in the fall of 1989, journalists discovered that most American teenagers had no idea what it was, nor why its opening was such a big deal. Nonetheless, Eurocentrism provides a better target than Americentrism.

text: Like those writers, the [Jesus and] Mary Chain never explicitly declares that “it’s okay to be working class and from Great Britain.” But by singing in their own accents and dealing with real-life situations in their lyrics, the band’s members do offer an alternative to the “Americentrism” of, say, Madonna or Bruce Springsteen.

text: While cultural capital is a non-variable for the purpose of this study, it is still important to contextualize the role of cultural capital within sport. Perhaps one of the largest reasons this must be considered is because the sports that are considered to be of high cultural capital for the purpose of this study speak to its Americentricity. For example, American football has arguably the highest cultural capital within the United States as evidenced by the high ratings it produces, fans’ obsession with playing fantasy football, and the revenue it generates in gate receipts and television contracts.
