"There are two ways to write about the history of anti-Americanism. Until now, many
scholars -- the "anti-anti-Americans" -- have taken the term at face value and assembled
catalogues of published statements exhibiting animosity towards the United States.
These histories often convey the impression of continuity, consistency, and consensus,
so that they in effect present a single, transnational tradition of anti- Americanism.
From Enlightenment philosophers deriding the New World's climate, to Latin American
nationalists blaming U.S. imperialism for all their countries' ills, we are invited
to contemplate an apparently unbroken chain of irrational hostility, an enduring ideological
mindset with a long pedigree. Anti-Americanism, in the conventional approach, is understood
as an obsessive and particular hatred of the United States, expressed in exaggerated
language, and traceable to a fundamental hostility toward democracy, freedom, and
modernity"--
