內容簡介
Postwar America is an up-to-date history of the United States from the presidency of Harry Truman at the end of World War II to the presidency of Barack Obama today. By taking an interdisciplinary approach, Professor Paul Levine combines political, social and cultural history to explore American life during the last seven decades. Among the themes he discusses are: racism and mulficulturalism;civil rights and civil society; the Cold War and Soft Power; immigration and the American Dream. Postwar America is a distillation of lectures Paul Levine delivered at two Fulbright-sponsored seminars for Chinese postgraduate students held at Shantou University and Beijing Foreign Studies University in 2009 and 2010. The lectures have been revised to serve as a general introduction for all Chinese university students. Paul Levine is Professor Emeritus in American Literature at Copenhagen University and a former Fulbright Professor at East China Normal University.
