Content Description

The United States of America dominates the twenty-first-century world both in military and political power as well as in its cultural influence as a model of the "good life" and a desired destination for migration. This completely revised and updated second edition of Contemporary America provides an extremely broad-ranging introduction to the society, politics,economy, culture, and world role of the United States. The authors focus on the Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies——and in particular on the period since the terrorist attacks of 9/I 1/2001 which has been marked by a growing cultural division between a largely permissive, urban Democratic "Blue" America and a largely religious, rural, and Republican "Red" America.
Illustrated throughout with relevant photographs, maps, charts, and tables,Contemporary America covers everything from rock music to national parksand from media corporations to social security. This is an ideal starting-pointin American studies for students and general readers alike.Review of the first edition："Contemporary America has the feel of Lonely Planet meets the EconomistIntelligence Unit. It tells you all manner of things you ought to know, interspersedwith an eclectic series of digressions that act as outings to the mainjourney...Russell Duncan and Joseph Goddard write well and cover a greatdeal of ground in a text with high production values and a clear design ."Michael Foley, The Times Higher Education Supplement"[C]ogent and well balanced...All the basics anyone seeking an overview ofthe nations major contours are here... [A]nyone reading the volume whethernew student or experienced scholar——will come away from it better informed."Dale Carter, The Newsletter of the Nordic Association for American Studies.
