Recensioner
"'[C]ogent and well balance...All the basics...of the nation's major contours are here - and then some...[A]nyone reading the volume - whether new student or experienced scholar - will come away from it better informed.' - Dale Carter, The Newsletter of the Nordic Association for American Studies 'Russell Duncan and Joseph Goddard write well and cover a great deal of ground in a text with high production values and a clear design...Contemporary America has the feel of Lonely Planet meets the Economist Intelligence Unit. It tells you all manner of things you ought to know, interspersed with an eclectic series of digressions that act as outings to the main journey. Photographs...supplement the lively pace of a cultural tour guide whose enthusiasm for broad themes and intriguing minutiae remains gloriously undiminished over 300 pages.' - Michael Foley, Times Higher Education Supplement"
