Description: America Right or Wrong by Anatol Lieven, Senior Research Fellow Anatol Lieven Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Originally published over half a decade ago, Anatol Lievens America Right or Wrong has become a classic analysis of the special character of American nationalism. As he demonstrated, Americas foreign policy response to the 9/11 attacks flowed directly from a nationalistic tradition that was two centuries in the making. Within that nationalism, Lieven identified two strands. The first was the "American thesis," a civic nationalism based on the democratic values of what has been called the "American Creed." These values are held to be universal, and anyone can become an American by adopting them. The other tradition, the "American antithesis" is a populist and often chauvinist nationalism, which tends to see America as a closed national culture and civilization threatened by a hostile and barbarous outside world. Much has changed since 9/11. The American public has turned inward in the wake of the Great Recession, but interestingly, Lievens fundamental analysis of American nationalism remains powerful and convincing. In this expanded new edition, he includes and in-depth analysis of the domestic component of both the American creed and the American antithesis. Barack Obamas improbable election to the presidency illustrates well the first strand. The rise of the Tea Party in response to both the financial crisis and the Obama administrations response is highly characteristic of the second strand. Lieven concentrates especially on the Tea Partys hard-edged American nationalism, which is evident in anti-immigration sentiment, hatred of Obama, and opposition to redistributive social programs that allegedly reward the unworthy. His account of Obamas election and the right-wing response to the economic collapse not only bring the story up to the present, but indicate the staying power of the books hard-hitting thesis.
