Description for What They Think of Us: International Perceptions of the United States since 9/11
Hardback. While many people around the world see the United States as a model, the US response to 9/11 has undoubtedly intensified global anti-Americanism. This book reveals that goodwill toward America still exists, and that this sympathy is in peril - and that there is an immense gap between how Americans view their country and how it is viewed abroad. Editor(s): Farber, David. Num Pages: 208 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: 1KBB; JPS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 22. Weight in Grams: 457.
