Why is America a target for global anger and resentment?

In Why Do People Hate America?, Ziauddin Sardar and Merryl Wyn Davies present a controversial bestseller praised by The Independent as "required reading." The authors examine the profound worldwide impact of American foreign policy, corporate influence, and cultural dominance.

Moving beyond the immediate context of recent history, the book investigates how the nation's actions and self-perception have fostered hostility across Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and the Middle East. It explores the disconnect between the American self-image and the reality experienced by the rest of the globe.

Endorsed by Noam Chomsky, this work is far more than a reaction to specific events. It provides crucial insight into global attitudes, offering a vital perspective on the complex forces that position the United States as a focal point for international scrutiny and anger.
