Publisher's Synopsis
This book gives you an interesting view as to how the rest of the world sees Americans, both when they are at home and abroad. It covers many different subjects and aspects of the American culture, and the author does a good job discussing them and seeing the multiple points of view that people from different cultures may have. Some of their opinions are funny, some are critical, envious or a bit sad, either way, the author has succeeded with portraying a vast array of viewpoints from all over the world.
Among the timely, unusual, and exceptionally entertaining questions this book addresses include:
- Are Americans liked or disliked when traveling abroad?
- Do people from other countries actually care about what's going on in America?
- Is American music, film, fashion, and food as influential as we think it is?
- How do the great American cities actually stack up against the Hollywood portrayals of them?
- Are Americans attractive?
