Summary

"The book is an effort to respond to the triple political-theoretical-methodological challenge. The focus is on world politics as communicated in U.S. media, with the hope one day there may be a USA Glasnost, a giving voice, articulating the concerns of Other, not only Self; and not only through mere Interviews, but by reporting and discussing issues so a multitude of views are accommodated."--BOOK JACKET.
