Reviews"Kamalipour's goal, to 'take the reader beyond the pervasive "stereotypical" or "assumed images" of the United States,' is achieved in a most impressive collection of research studies not found elsewhere. The essays represent virtually every important area of the world, including various parts of Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and both North and South America. Anyone who has any interest in intercultural communication will find the book difficult to resist, and the solid research foundation upon which the information is based only enhances this enticement. It is a refreshing change from the many armchair speculations about the impact of the U.S. abroad, and offers some substantial, well-presented and interestingly analyzed data about this impact." -- Richard J. Dieker, Western Michigan University
