This book focuses on the various propagations of American culture in literature, music, film, "the new media," architecture, politics, and ways of life.

The spectrum of topics includes the historical dimensions of European anti-Americanism roots of anti-Americanism in post-World War II Austria, and the relationship between anti-Americanism and American studies.
