Description

The American experience has been defined, in part, by the rhetoric of exceptionalism.

This book of 11 critical essays explores the notion as it is manifested across a range of contexts, including the presidency, foreign policy, religion, economics, American history, television news and sports.

The idea of exceptionalism is explored through the words of its champions and its challengers, past and present.

By studying how the principles of American exceptionalism have been used, adapted, challenged, and even rejected, this volume demonstrates the continued importance of exceptionalism to the mythology, sense of place, direction and identity of the United States, within and outside of the realm of politics.
