Ragnhild Fiebig-von Hase, University of Tübingen and Lecturer in American History at the University of Cologne.


"... a fine volume ... that is theoretically/methodologically challenging and impressively scholarly ... What impresses ... is the delicate balance between sophisticated interdisciplinary approaches to the problem of 'enemy images' and the abundance of fascinating case studies ... The most important periods in American history are covered by and large."   · Günter Bischof, Eisenhower Center, University of New Orleans
