Description: "This book interrogates the nature of anti-Americanism today and over the last century. It asks several questions: How do we define the phenomenon from different perspectives: political, social, and cultural? What are the historical sources and turning points of anti-Americanism in Europe and elsewhere? What are its links with anti-Semitic sentiment? Has anti-Americanism been beneficial or self-destructive to its "believers"? Finally, how has the United States responded and why?"--BOOK JACKET.
Notes: "Papers in this volume were first presented at the conference 'Past and Present: Is There Anything New with Anti-Americanism Today?' held at Central European University in Budapest in December 2004"--Ack.
