Beschreibung
""American exceptionalism" has been a surprisingly resilient and divisive concept. In this magisterial book, Ian Tyrrell shows that while the term is a relatively new one, the idea that American identity might be historically and globally distinctive emerged with the nation itself. As the country grew, the issue became the degree of exceptionality and how it was expressed. And as the country became a part of the global order, its exceptionalism came increasingly into question. How did a purportedly unique nation explain its entanglement with persistent global topics like slavery and racial discrimination; labor exploitation; settler colonialism; and more? Today, even as demands to honor America's exceptionalism have grown more strident, Tyrrell argues that the material and moral evidence for it-if there ever was any-has withered away"--
