From the Publisher

Offers revised versions of papers presented at the Annual Conference of the Historians in the German Association of American Studies in February 1994. Delving into the fields of individual and social psychology, social and political history, and international history, participants concentrate on enemy images, their genesis, changing patterns, and functional uses in American history, beginning in the early period of nation building and ending in the 1960s. A wide variety of historical research findings follow two introductory discussions of enmity. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
