Opis

Why do some individuals from the imagined "non-West" view the "West" favorably and others do not? Grounded in psychological authoritarianism and the psychological reactions to experiences of rejection, Björn Goldstein provides a theoretical model to explain and predict attitude toward the "West."

Recenzje

'A fascinating insight into the psychology of attitudes towards the West. The association, that Goldstein uncovers, between authoritarian attitudes and high socioeconomic status with anti-Westernism, is both challenging and important.' - Alastair Bonnett, Professor of Social Geography, Newcastle University
