The article, titled "Slow Anti-Americanism at Multiple Scales," discusses the author's book and the various perspectives of reviewers. The author's goal in writing the book was to examine social and political developments in Central Asia at multiple scales, from the local to the global. The book uses geological metaphors to explain how change can be slow and incremental, and it explores the concept of anti-Americanism in the context of rising conservatism and anti-liberalism worldwide. The reviewers raise questions about the adequacy of the metaphors used, the role of symbolic America compared to symbolic Russia and China, and the nature of social movements in authoritarian contexts. The author acknowledges the limitations of the book and hopes that it will stimulate further research on related topics. [Extracted from the article] |
