Book summaryCulture critic D'Souza debunks what he sees as the standard liberal charges against the United States--such as that it is decadent and an inheritor of the West's colonial heritage. He celebrates the American values of liberty, freedom, and individuality, and shows how they argue against such a view. D'Souza regrets that anti-American views seem to dominate in the education system, and that, in a post-September 11 world, it is necessary to speak what he sees as the truth. Media reviews"Notwithstanding its bombastic title and occasional lapses into stemwinder oratory, WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT AMERICA is a thoughtful discussion of the character and historical significance of the United States." |
