Description for Why America is Such a Hard Sell

This work explains that the answer lies not just in America's overtly forceful actions but in the construction and presentation of its self-image. It is intended for scholars and policymakers. Num Pages: 280 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: 1KBB; JPS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 239 x 161 x 26. Weight in Grams: 567.
History offers ample proof of AmericaOs pride and prejudice, a twin handicap that prevents effective communication with the rest of the world. Using literature, political science, philosophy, and humor, the book explores some of the reasons for AmericaOs current predicament. It ends, however, on a positive note, describing some heartening initiatives, and expressing confidence in the sustaining power of the American spirit. Dr. Pilon's analysis should prove useful to scholars and practitioners, indeed to anyone interested in improving the interaction between America and the world.
