Recenzii

"The nexus between Hollywood, U.S. diplomacy, and the portrayal of Washington's foreign enemies is skilfully examined in Sally Totman's original inter-disciplinary study. Her theoretical and empirical analysis reveals the extent to which Hollywood has been complicit in selling Washington's world view. In particular, Dr. Totman examines the methodology of demonising Washington's adversary du jour, especially those rogue states in the Middle East who have frustrated or thwarted the America's geopolitical ambitions. This is an impressive and important study which provides a vital, often ignored context to the making and selling of U.S. foreign policy. Without an understanding of the role of popular culture in building domestic support for U.S. interventions around the world in countries such as Iraq, our knowledge of the subject will remain impoverished. This gap has now been filled." - Dr. Scott Burchill, School of International and Political Studies, Deakin University, and author of The National Interest in International Relations Theory
"This is a cogent and valuable contribution given that we are rapidly moving from a textual age, in which people have learnt about the world predominantly by reading, to a visual age, where visual media (including the internet) are the primary means of formulating worldviews and identities. One of the ironies may be that film itself is becoming passé as the media of choice for the younger generation. This book encourages us towait and watch for Hollywood s response to this challenge." - Dr. David Hundt, Deakin University, Melbourne, and author of Korea s Developmental Alliance
