Description

Rappa (political science, National U. of Singapore) uses The Ship of Fools as the central metaphor to describe the peculiar kind of modernity that has taken hold in the US. Within this framework, he examines the historical, social, cultural, and normative perceptions of the US government at home and abroad. The study uses the US as a case study to explore the subtleties and nuances of the politics of globalization. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
