Having helped define negative attitudes towards the United States and its role in the world as an irrational product of "morbid fascination" with American culture and hatred of modernity in his Anti-Americanism (Oxford University Press, 1992), Hollander (emeritus, sociology, U. of Massachusetts) revisits his topic by assembling a like-minded group of contributors that examine manifestations of "anti-Americanism" in different regions of the world and domestically. The regional and country studies offer explanations of "anti-Americanism" in France, Britain, Germany, the Middle East, Latin America, Nicaragua, Cuba, and Russia. "Anti-American" attitudes within the United States are the subject of essays on the communist left, feminism, the peace movement, educational institutions, and popular culture.
