Cultures of United States Imperialism explores how U.S. imperial practices have shaped both domestic and foreign cultures from the 19th century to the late 20th century. The book challenges the myth of American exceptionalism by revealing the cultural mechanisms behind imperial expansion. Through 24 interdisciplinary essays, scholars examine the intersections of race, gender, capitalism, and nationalism in imperial contexts. Case studies range from the annexation of the Philippines to the Gulf War, analyzing literature, media, and historical events. The volume argues that empire is not only a geopolitical phenomenon but also a cultural process. This groundbreaking work reframes American studies within a global and imperial context.
