Book Synopsis The Present as History by : Nermeen Shaikh
Book excerpt: The contributors to this volume treat the United States as an object to be historically and politically scrutinized rather than as the norm from which all else is to be evaluated. Their essays assess the Third World through its history of colonialism and neocolonialism rather than focusing on issues of culture and morality.
