The Conceit of Innocence: Losing the Conscience of the West in the War Against Bosnia Hardcover - 1997
by Stjepan G. Mestrovic (Editor)
Innocence may be lost in the post-Cold War West with regard to democratic reform in Eastern Europe, but the practice of a "conceit" of innocence--or imitation of a purity of action commonly associated with the 1950s--is the theme explored in this unusual collection of essays contributed by a number of varied professionals, ranging from sociologist, anthropologist, journalist, political scientist, and other fields.

Description:
College Station Texas: Texas A & M University Press, 1997. Book. New. Hardcover. First Edition. 259 pages, new un-read copy in original shrink wrap. "Stjepan G. Me¿trovic shows how the theory of imitation-or conceit-connects the essays of the contributing authors. Anthropologist Akbar S. Ahmed discusses the existence of "ethnic cleansing" vs. Western assertions that ethnic hatreds largely have been overcome. In two essays, Richard Johnson shows the hypocrisy in the U.S. State Department's reaction to the genocide in Bosnia and demonstrates how the West has begun to appease Russian expansionism. Columnist Georgie Anne Geyer furthers this theme by exposing ways the White House, the UN secretary-general, and others pretend to follow the UN Charter while appeasing genocidal aggression. Keith Doubt reveals how the West attempts to "save face" and "give face" to Slobodan Milo¿evic. Slaven Letica shows the lionization of war criminals in the West. Brad…

Description:
Hardback. New. Innocence may be lost in the post-Cold War West, but the imitation of innocence is evident in the social and political landscape of the 1990s. Eminent sociologist David Reisman has argued that the current culture attempts to imitate a purity of action, motive, and spirit commonly associated with the 1950s: faith in government, optimism concerning the future, and a can-do social and political attitude. These essays by prominent scholars and former policy makers carry forward Reisman's assertions in exposing the pretense in supposedly moral-driven Western policy, especially as it pertains to the crisis in Bosnia. In his introduction to The Conceit of Innocence, Stjepan Mestrovic shows how the theory of imitation--or conceit--flows out of Reisman's and his own previous works and acts as the theme that binds the essays of the contributing authors. Renowned anthropologist Akbar Ahmed discusses the existence of "ethnic cleansing" in the face of Western assertions…
