ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
The academic work is a scholarly
attempt to wade into the dynamics of the American Dream and US Foreign Policy.
The Book hews an interesting and innovative narrative to initiate a sympathetic
and rational approach and outlook towards the American nation, its people, its
establishment, and finally its cultural constructs such as Cinema, Literature
and its entire national entourage. The narrative insinuates towards Hollywood`s
prime time constructs and comic genres such as the Super heroes and iconography
in order to drive home the point of the grandiloquent American dream which has
always been a contested nomenclature and trajectory. The narrative also weaves
a transnational oeuvre for US foreign policy attempting broad sections on
India, South America, West Asia and landmark American interventions such as
Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan vis-a vis, the American Overarch and its
hyper puissance in the larger international system harking back to the
historical underpinnings of the nation`s Founding fathers.
