Bickerton explores the fluid and multi-dimensional interactions Americans have with Italian culture and society, offering a new and novel way of considering the influence of Italy upon the United States. Bickerton argues that a true understanding of the United States, must begin with an examination of how its citizens imagine themselves. He demonstrates that throughout U.S. history, America has been deeply tied to the Italian imaginary. Ian J. Bickerton is the author of many books, including John F. Kennedy, A Reference Guide to his Life and Times (2019), A History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict (9th. ed. 2022), and The Struggle for Peace in the Middle East (2015). 001482416 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 16, 2023). 001482416 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xRelations$$zItaly. 001482416 651_0 $$aItaly$$xRelations$$zUnited States. 001482416 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xCivilization$$xItalian influences. 001482416 651_0 $$aItaly$$xForeign public opinion, American. 001482416 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001482416 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783031364211 001482416 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031364201$$z9783031364204$$w(OCoLC)1381194948 001482416 852__ $$bebk 001482416 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-36421-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001482416 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1482416$$pGLOBAL_SET 001482416 980__ $$aBIB 001482416 980__ $$aEBOOK 001482416 982__ $$aEbook 001482416 983__ $$aOnline 001482416 994__ $$a92$$bISE
