Abstract
In the postwar period, with the United States emerging as a global power, in fact, the global power, and with the rapid development of worldwide means of communication, the American image among foreign peoples, especially in Western Europe, East Asia, and parts of the Third World, has become an important concern of the American government and news media and, to a lesser extent, the American public. In other words, American fears of anti-Americanism have been with us for almost four decades.
