Anti-Americanism
Anti-Americanism, often Anti-American sentiment, is opposition or hostility toward the government, culture, or people of the United States.[1] In practice, a broad range of attitudes and actions critical of or opposed to the United States have been labeled anti-Americanism and the applicability of the term is often disputed. Contemporary examples typically focus on international opposition to United States policy, though historically the term has been applied to a variety of concepts.
Interpretations of anti-Americanism have often been polarised. It has been described as a belief[2] that configures the United States and the American way of life as threatening at their core.[3] However, it has also been suggested that Anti-Americanism cannot be isolated as a consistent phenomenon and that the term merely signifies a rough composite of stereotypes, prejudices and criticisms towards Americans or the United States.[4]
Whether sentiment hostile to the United States reflects reasoned evaluation of specific policies and administrations, rather than a prejudiced belief system, is a further complication. Globally, increases in perceived anti-American attitudes appear to correlate with particular policies,[5] such as the Vietnam and Iraq[6] wars. For this reason, critics often argue the label is a propaganda item that is used to dismiss any censure of the United States as irrational.[7]

Use of the term
Template:Discrimination2 The use of the term anti-Americanism has been catalogued from 1948, entering wide political language in the 1950s.[8] The related term "Americanisation" (to which anti-Americanism is at least partly a response) has been dated to a French source as early as 1867.[9] Labeling earlier attitudes and commentary "anti-American" is thus partly a retroactive exercise, though there are numerous examples of hostility directed at the country from at least the late 18th century onwards.
Contemporary usage is often controversial. The term itself does not imply a critical attitude based on rational objections but rather a prejudiced system of thought and it is therefore rarely employed as a self-identifier (i.e. "I am anti-American...") as this implies bias. Instead, it is often used as a pejorative by those who object to another individual or group's stance toward the United States or its policies. Advocates of the significance of the term argue, for instance, that Anti-Americanism represents a coherent and dangerous ideological current, comparable to anti-Semitism.[10] Anti-Americanism has also been described as theory that seeks to frame the consequences of difficult US policy choices as evidence of a specifically American moral failure, as opposed to what may be unavoidable failures of a complicated foreign policy that comes with superpower status.[11]
Its status as an "-ism" is a greatly contended aspect and it is often called a propaganda term by critics who feel it is used to dismiss any censure of the United States as irrational. American academic Noam Chomsky, a prolific critic of U.S. policy, asserts that the use of the term within the U.S. has parallels with methods employed by totalitarian states or military dictatorships; he compares the term to "anti-Sovietism", a label used by the Kremlin to suppress dissident or critical thought, for instance.[12]
Other scholars have also suggested that a plural of Anti-Americanisms, specific to country and time period, more accurately describe the phenomenon than any broad generalization.[13] The widely used "anti-American sentiment", meanwhile, less explicitly implies an ideology or belief system.
History
Since the United States founding, Anti-Americanism has existed in different forms and for different reasons. Some anti-American views rest upon ideological resistance to perceived American values and culture. Other views represent expressions of group identity, racism, and xenophobia. Finally, some anti-American sentiment grows from policies of the United States government.
Degeneracy thesis
Anti-American sentiment in Europe originated with the discovery of America, the study of the Native Americans, and the examination of its flora, fauna, and climate. The first anti-American theory, the "degeneracy thesis," portrayed America as a regressive and culturally bankrupt continent. The theory that the humidity and other atmospheric conditions in America physically and morally weakened both men and animals was commonly argued in Europe and debated by early American thinkers such as Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson.
In 1768 Cornelius de Pauw, court philosopher to Frederick II of Prussia and chief proponent of this thesis, described America as "degenerate or monstrous" colonies and argued that, "the weakest European could crush them with ease."[14]
The theory was extended to argue that the natural environment of the United States would prevent it from ever producing true culture. Paraphrasing Pauw, the French Encyclopedist Abbé Raynal wrote, "America has not yet produced a good poet, an able mathematician, one man of genius in a single art or a single science."[15] (So virulent was Raynal's antipathy that his book was suppressed by the French monarchy.)
Anti-technology and Romantic hostility
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f8/Liberators-Kultur-Terror-Anti-Americanism-1944-Nazi-Propaganda-Poster.jpg/200px-Liberators-Kultur-Terror-Anti-Americanism-1944-Nazi-Propaganda-Poster.jpg)
The French Revolution created a new type of anti-American political thought, hostile to the political institutions of the United States and their impact upon Europe. Furthermore, the Romantic strain of European thought and literature, hostile to the Enlightenment view of reason and obsessed with history and national character, disdained the American project.
The German poet Nikolaus Lenau encapsulated the Romantic view, "With the expression Bodenlosigkeit (rootlessness), I think I am able to indicate the general character of all American institutions; what we call Fatherland is here only a property insurance scheme."
With the rise of American industry in the late nineteenth century, intellectual anti-American discourse entered a new form. Mass production, the Taylor system, and the speed of American life and work became a major threat to some intellectuals' view of European life and tradition.
Nietzsche wrote, "The breathless haste with which they (the Americans) work - the distinctive vice of the new world - is already beginning ferociously to infect old Europe and is spreading a spiritual emptiness over the continent."
It has been argued that this thesis transformed into a Heideggerian critique of technologism. Heidegger wrote in 1935: "Europe lies today in a great pincer, squeezed between Russia on the one side and America on the other. From a metaphysical point of view, Russia and America are the same, with the same dreary technological frenzy and the same unrestricted organization of the average man."
A derivative of the thesis regarding the soullessness of America and its inherent threat to Europe was also used in Fascist rhetoric and in German and Japanese propaganda during World War II. It has been argued that the Heideggerian critique, incorporated into existentialist (Sartre) and leftist thought after the war, played a central role in the political rhetoric of many Western European Communist parties.[citation needed]
Nationalism, xenophobia and ethnic discrimination
Some critics argue that anti-Americanism ideology often correlates with other forms of perceived extremism, such as virulent nationalist movements, radical Islam, or communism.
Self-proclaimed French anti-anti-American, Bernard-Henri Levy, described this view, "Anti-Americanism is a horror… It is a magnet of the worst. In the entire world and in France in particular, everything that is the worst in people's heads comes together around anti-Americanism: racism, nationalism, chauvinism, anti-semitism."[16]
Racialism
In the middle of the nineteenth century, the racialist theories of Arthur de Gobineau and others spread through Europe. The presence of blacks and "lower quality" immigrant groups made racialist thinkers discount the potential of the United States. The infinite mixing of America would lead to the ultimate degeneracy. Gobineau said that America was creating "greatest mediocrity in all fields: mediocrity of physical strength, mediocrity of beauty, mediocrity of intellectual capacities - we could almost say nothingness."
Anti-globalism
See also: Anti-globalisation, Anti-globalisation and antisemitism
According to its opponents, globalisation has magnified the visibility of trade conflicts and decreased job security[citation needed], and is often attributed to either US or Anglo-American influence[citation needed]. Anti-globalist resentments stem from perceptions that the United States was the key inspiration for globalisation and neoliberal free trade policy[citation needed]. This exposed previously isolated countries to the spread of the English language and American popular culture, a process that some have labelled cultural imperialism despite the role played by consumer choice.[citation needed] The 'Anglo-American' corporate business model is the subject of much criticism.[citation needed] American business in particular is frequently criticised for its perceived lack of attention to environmental issues, including various issues related to high use of fossil fuels.[citation needed]
National Identity
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3b/Anti_usa_demo_brazil.jpg/250px-Anti_usa_demo_brazil.jpg)
Just as the United States has defined itself against Monarchical and Communist countries during its history and is now defending itself against terrorism and radical Islam, the use of anti-American ideologies may represent a way for nations to unify the country and bridge political divisions and/or to cover up evident flaws in their political or economic system. Certain forms of social identity theory argue that the existence of "an other" is crucial to the development of group identity. In the case of a European strand of anti-Americanism, some authors, like A.S. Markowitz in Uncouth Nation: Why Europe Dislikes America, argue it would be linked to the creation of a coalescing European identity.
Snobbery
A popular, non-political form of anti-Americanism is an attitude that regards American culture as inherently inferior, and lacking in the fine manners, traditions and depth of older societies. It is often accompanied by an aversion to American products and ideas such as McDonalds, American spelling, or Hollywood movies simply because they are American, and a corresponding preference for non-American alternatives.
Political policies and hypocrisy
- U.S. Foreign Policy - Main article: Opposition to U.S. foreign policy.
Samuel Johnson hit upon one theme that, in various and different forms, has long defined some forms of anti-American sentiment: the perceived hypocrisy of a supposed freedom-loving people engaged in less than admirable practices. Americans in his eyes were hypocrites in their relations with Indigenous peoples and African slaves.
"How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?" He famously stated that, "I am willing to love all mankind, except an American."
Americans, for their part, mirrored this criticism with statements about the treatment of colonial subjects by European powers.
Early 20th century
As European immigration to the United States continued and the country's economic potential became more obvious, anti-American stances grew a much more explicit geopolitical dimension. A new strand of anti-American sentiment started to appear as America entered the competition for influence in the Pacific, and anti-Americanism was widespread among the Central Powers after the U.S. entered the First World War. Furthermore, many of the anti-American ideological threads spread to other areas, such as Japan and Latin America, where Continental philosophy was popular and growing American power was increasingly viewed as a threat. In political terms, even amongst the United States's allies, Britain and France, there was resentment at the end of the war as they found themselves massively in debt to the United States. These sentiments became even more widespread during the interbellum and Great Depression and sometimes tended toward the anti-Semitic: the belief that America was ruled by a Jewish conspiracy was common in countries ruled by fascists before and during World War II.
Cold War foreign policy
During the Cold War, anti-Americanism grew within the sphere of the Soviet Union and spread to some other parts of the world, such as Africa and Asia. The Vietnam War boosted anti-American sentiment. In addition, the United States' support for right-wing authoritarian regimes and numerous covert operations during this era had been likewise criticized. Support for military dictatorships and authoritarian governments during and after the Cold War such as Augusto Pinochet's also bred anti-American sentiments.
Post-Cold War policies
The fall of the Soviet Union may have brought an increase in anti-Americanism because the U.S. was left as the world's only superpower and people who formerly saw the United States as a bastion against Communism or needed the American security umbrella no longer felt the need to support the United States. Where the governments of allied states in particular had felt disinclined to openly criticize US policy during the Cold War, they have had fewer such qualms since. In addition, criticism of American economic sanctions and embargos toward various countries, including Cuba and Iran, while maintaining commercial relations with countries such as China generates resentment.
The belief that America was ruled by a Jewish conspiracy or that Israel was an American puppet state has also motivated anti-American hatred in some circles during the last third of the 20th century. Other items of concern include American military interventions and perceived imperialism, especially in connection with 2003 invasion of Iraq, and the perceived selective favor given to allies of the United States in international institutions, especially involving issues like proliferation.
Regional Attitudes
Anti-Americanism in some form has existed across different American presidential administrations, though its severity may wax and wane considerably depending upon particular economic or geopolitical issues. George W. Bush's presidency, for instance, is widely seen as inducing a major increase in Anti-Americanism,[17] with the 2003 invasion of Iraq and controversies such as the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp and CIA "torture flights" badly affecting global opinions of the U.S.[18]
Europe
During the Bush administration, public opinion of America has declined in Europe. A Pew Global Attitudes Project poll shows "favourable opinions" of America between 2000 and 2006 dropping from 83% to 56% in Great Britain, from 62% to 39% in Germany, from 78% to 37% in France and from 50% to 23% in Spain[3].
Even in Britain, a traditional US ally, there is growing dissatisfaction with America. A June 2006 poll by Populus for The Times Populus poll showed that the number of Britons agreeing that "it is important for Britain’s long-term security that we have a close and special relationship with the US" had fallen to 58% (from 71% in April), and that 65% believed that "Britain’s future lies more with Europe than America". 44% agreed that "America is a force for good in the world." A later poll reported in The Guardian [4] during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict said that 63% of Britons felt that Britain is tied too closely to the US.
Fabbrini (2004) reports the American invasion of Iraq in the spring of 2003 brought to the surface of public debate among European elites a robust anti-Americanism. The reaction to US unilateralism has been nourished by a complex of fears, two in particular: the presumed economic and cultural Americanization of Europe and the Americanization of the European political process. The overwhelming global power acquired by the United States in the post-Cold War era and the unilateral exercise of that power, especially after 9/11 attacks September 11, 2001 fed the anti-American sentiment contributing to its most militant manifestation. Although anti-Americanism has been deeply rooted in European political cultures and experiences, its reemergence was greatly triggered by American foreign policy strategy, Fabbrini argues.
In Europe in 2002, vandalism of American companies was reported in Venice, Athens, Berlin, Zürich, Tbilisi (Georgia), and Moscow. [5]
Asia
In Japan and South Korea, much anti-Americanism has focused on the sometimes criminal behavior of American military personnel, aggravated especially by high-profile cases of sexual assaults on locals by U.S. servicemen. The on-going U.S. military presence in Okinawa remains a contentious issue in Japan.[19]
In South Korea, two junior high school students were killed by American military personnel in a traffic accident at the final stage of a presidential election in 2002. As a result, the Korean public opinion was enraged and Roh Moo-hyun, who advocated anti-Americanism, was elected President. President Roh Moo-Hyun and his administration considerably weakened the alliance of the United States and South Korea.[20] Also, Iraq War and foreign policy of America played a role in detereorating America's image in South Korea.
In the Philippines on May 27, 2001, the Muslim group Abu Sayyaf captured Americans, Martin and Gracia Burnham, while they were celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at a resort. They were held captive in the jungle under near starvation conditions until June 7, 2002 when Martin Burnham died in a firefight between the Philippine military.[21]
Middle East
The Middle East region has been a focal point of much anti-American sentiment in the latter decades of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, often blamed on specific US policies in the region, particularly its close relationship with Israel. The term Great Satan, as well as the chant "Death to America" have been in continual use in Iran since at least the Iranian revolution in 1979. The Iranian capital Tehran has many examples of anti-American murals and posters sponsored by the state; the former US Embassy in the city has been decorated with a number of such murals.
In 2002 and 2004, Zogby International polled the favorable/unfavorable ratings of the U.S. in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates. In Zogby's 2002 survey, 76% of Egyptians had a negative attitude toward the United States, compared with 98% in 2004. In Morocco, 61% viewed the country unfavorably in 2002, but in two years, that number has jumped to 88 percent. In Saudi Arabia, such responses rose from 87% in 2002 to 94% in June. Attitudes were virtually unchanged in Lebanon but improved slightly in the UAE, from 87 % who said in 2002 that they disliked the United States to 73% in 2004.[22] However most of these countries showed a marked distinction between negative perceptions of the United States, and much less negative of Americans.[22]
The Pew Research Institute probed more deeply the stereotypes of westerners in the Middle East. While more than 70% of middle easterners identified more than 3 negative characteristics of the Westerner stereotype, the three strongest were selfish, violent and greedy. Few had positive opinions of Westerners, but the strongest positive stereotypes were devout and respectful of women.[23] The report also demonstrates strong unfavorable views of Jews and weakly favorable views of Christians predominate in the Middle East. In Jordan, 61%, Pakistan 27%, and Turkey 16% have favorable views of Christians while in Jordan 1%, Pakistan 6%, and Turkey 15% have favorable views of Jews.[23]
The Americas
In Latin America, anti-American sentiment has deep roots dating back to the 1830's and the Texas Revolution. Other signficant 19th century events which led to a rise in anti-American sentiment were the 1846-1848 Mexican-American War, American mercenary William Walker's 1855 intervention in Nicaragua, and the Spanish American War of 1898. US support for dictators such as Augusto Pinochet, Anastasio Somoza and Alfredo Stroessner led to more. Support for [6] the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, as well as other economic and military interventions in the region added further to these sentiments.
Nowadays, the countries with a higher display of an anti-American attitude, coming from their governors, are Venezuela and Bolivia. The former one governed by Hugo Chávez, who is known for his strong opposition towards George W. Bush, driving him to address him in many ways; the most known "Mister Danger". [24]
