Andrew Kohut and Bruce Stokes. America Against the World

Kohut and Stokes’ America Against the World draws upon extensive data from the Pew Global Attitudes Project, involving multiple surveys between 2002 and 2005 in some 51 countries around the world. It documents the sharp global rise in anti-Americanism, thoroughly explores the extent and limits of American “exceptionalism” at the level of mass publics, and – less successfully – attempts to link what is unusual about our values and opinions with the low regard in which the United States is now held by most people abroad. The data appear to be rich and illuminating, although some survey professionals may be annoyed by difficulties in pinning down exactly what the book's words and numbers refer to. The tables and text often neglect to specify precise question wordings, the exact dates of surveys, or even the years in which surveys were conducted, and the web locations cited as providing details could not (at least by this reviewer) be accessed. But fortunately, much can be pieced together from textual references and/or the brief Appendix.
