It was to be expected that the European Association for American Studies Conference held in Prague in the spring of 2004 could not avoid debating the impact and the aftermath of 9/11 on American life, culture, and national mentality. The essays collected in this volume push through history testing some of the basic principles upon which America was founded and exists, but they also look back in an attempt to seek and reveal discernible agents behind the general reaction to the terrorist attack and the war on terror. One reiterated message of relevance in the contributions promulgates the difference between taking a critical stand and falling for dogmatic, cheap and undesirable anti-Americanism.
