Recenzii

"With its richly detailed historical analysis, American Empire and the Arsenal of Entertainment weaves a compelling narrative demonstrating that the medium of entertainment has at times been just as important to the success of the American imperial project as the deployment of raw material capability or global institution-building. Fattor's exhaustive examination of the period of modern empire from 1815 to the present points to thought-provoking questions about the future of informal American empire. Anyone interested in the past and future of American power, especially students and scholars of empire and critical International Relations theory, will welcome this timely and creative book." Daniel J. Whelan, Associate Professor of Politics and International Relations, Hendrix College, USA
"Fattor's American Empire and the Arsenal of Entertainment gives its readers the theoretical tools to see those elements of US Foreign policy that focus on the domination of others. Throughout this book Fattor illustrates the linkages between theory and practice, deftly weaving sophisticated analysis with clear empirical examples. Ultimately, Fattor has written an outstanding book of applied critical international relations theory that will remain relevant for anyone who wants to know how the American Empire was constructed. In an age marked by the imperial monopoly on violence, Fattor offers both insight into the past and into the possible sources of resistance and the revitalization of emancipatory politics." Amentahru Wahlrab, Senior Lecturer of Political Science, University of Texas at Tyler, USA
