What They Think of Us International Perceptions of the United States since 9/11

"These essays highlight what we have long observed from our international polling, that people do not judge us by what we say about ourselves, but by how they perceive we are threatening them. "What They Think of Us" is a must-read book for Ms. Karen Hughes and Co."--James J. Zogby, founder and President of the Arab American Institute"This is an important and timely book. To my knowledge there is no other book that does what this one does--collect commentaries on the United States written by foreigners. It is terrifically fresh in its approach and a valuable addition to writing about the post-9/11 world."--Mark Lawrence, University of Texas, Austin"Offering a broad international perspective on anti-American attitudes, "What They Think of Us" is timely and provocative. It helps explain why so many educated and even democratic-minded citizens around the world have grown increasingly critical of the United States in the last decade. The essays point to the corrosive effects of American military intervention, economic expansion, and cultural insensitivity. This book allows the reader to understand, if not always sympathize with, the experiences and attitudes of people who see the world very differently from the average American."--Jeremi Suri, University of Wisconsin, MadisonFarber, David R. is the author of 'What They Think of Us International Perceptions of the United States since 9/11', published 2007 under ISBN 9780691130255 and ISBN 0691130256.
