Opis

This volume looks at a key component of recent US foreign relations, namely, its emphasis on -hearts and minds- as part of its cultural management of the global Other. The authors collected here analyze to what extent we can frame the intent and consequences of this term as a coherent policy, discussing how to think about foreign policy strategies that involve the management of cultural relations. -Including fascinating first-hand and deeply-researched accounts of the workings of various US institutions (many of them 'cultural'), this volume is a must for an understanding of the power the US projects worldwide.- Professor Laleh Khalili, SOAS University of London -This fascinating collection reveals the nuance and complexity behind a seemingly banal phrase.- Professor David Schmid, State University of New York at Buffalo
