Author Description

"In this sequel to their bestselling Why Do People Hate America?, Ziauddin Sardar and Merryl Wyn Davies explore the myths that sustain America's belief in itself, and the global consequences to which these myths lead." "Ranging from the vision of the Founding Fathers to the myth-making machine of Hollywood, exemplified by the rise of Arnold Schwarzenegger to Governor of California, this book investigates the persistent dream in which America is determined to live, and the dangerous "sleep of reason" necessary to sustain it."--BOOK JACKET.
