商品描述

This book sheds light on American exceptionalism--the belief that the United States is unique and superior and is destined to lead the world. It argues that this idea is not exclusive to the United States, as many other nations, including China, India, France, and Germany, have also claimed uniqueness based on their history, culture, or power. Such claims often distort reality, ignore comparisons, and justify questionable actions.

The book examines the roots of American exceptionalism in doctrines such as Manifest Destiny and the Doctrine of Discovery. It traces the impact of these doctrines on Native Americans, slavery, and U.S. identity. The book then follows America's rise from isolationism to global dominance, examining its triumphs and contradictions as well as the challenges of the 21st century.

By providing a critical, historical, and global perspective on this powerful idea--including its origins, evolution, and limits--this book will appeal to scholars, students, and anyone interested in U.S. history, global politics, and the myths that shape nations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書闡明了美國例外主義——即美國是獨特且優越的，注定要引領世界的信念。它主張這一觀念並不僅限於美國，許多其他國家，包括中國、印度、法國和德國，也基於其歷史、文化或實力聲稱獨特性。這些聲稱往往扭曲現實，忽視比較，並為可疑的行為辯護。

本書探討了美國例外主義的根源，如顯示命運（Manifest Destiny）和發現教義（Doctrine of Discovery）。它追溯了這些教義對美國原住民、奴隸制和美國身份的影響。接著，本書跟隨美國從孤立主義到全球主導地位的崛起，檢視其勝利與矛盾，以及21世紀的挑戰。

通過提供對這一強大觀念的批判性、歷史性和全球性視角——包括其起源、演變和限制——這本書將吸引學者、學生以及任何對美國歷史、全球政治和塑造國家的神話感興趣的人士。
