The downsizing of Americaby Ramirez-Faria, Carlos
Book desription: Manas Pub., 2006. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Begun as a simple narrative recounting of American foreign policy from 1989 through the invasion and occupation of Iraq, this work by Venezuelan academic Ramirez-Faria became an extended meditation on the role of American exceptionalism in the post-Cold War era. He argues that American exceptionalism is a myth, both in terms of US physical power and in terms of its moral qualities. He suggests that the United States come to terms with a multipolar world in its military and political affairs and accept the reality of cultural relativity. (©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR)
