"The essays that Ivan Krastev and Alan McPherson have gathered together in this little book represent a distinctive contribution to the burgeoning literature on ‘anti-Americanism.’ They cover a remarkable amount of ground, from South-East Asia to Central Europe, and offer many original insights into the origins and nature of contemporary anti-American sentiment. Anyone seeking to understand this subject—which means everyone who cares about the current unstable state of the world—should read The Anti-American Century."

"Anti-Americanism is a psychologically complex, politically heterogeneous, and kaleidoscopically evolving cultural attitude. Anyone who wants to understand its multiple roots and paradoxical trajectories should read this fascinating book."

- Stephen Holmes,

"All too often debates on anti-Americanism disintegrate into simplified black and white slogans of ‘us’ and ‘them.’ In meeting such simple stories, the essays in this volume are a welcome complication and challenge. This volume brings international voices into the dialogue helping us to disentangle the multi-faceted social and political narratives of ‘anti-Americanism’ in this new century."
