Have a Nice Day Zusammenfassung

Have a Nice Day: Beyond the Cliches: Giving America Another Chance Justin Webb

American talent and ingenuity and renewal, the very genius that led to Obama's rise, is celebrated too little in the outside world. The time has come - with the Bush presidency over - for a new appreciation of what makes America tick. Have a Nice Day does not shy away from the crazy preachers, the guns, and the continuing racial divisions. But it puts the rough edges of American life in context - geographical and intellectual. This is exactly the right time, Justin Webb claims, for the world to take a look at why Americans think as they do, and why they might just be right -

Have a Nice Day Bewertungen

" - the literary equivalent of cracking open a six pack of Budweiser and arguing late into the night - " James Robinson, The Observer "Not since Charles Wheeler has the BBC had as fine an American correspondent. His perceptive reporting has been a joy." The Times "With his forensic examination of America, and more importantly of Americans, Justin Webb represents 21st-century proof that no-one understands the world so adroitly as the Englishman abroad." Simon Calder, Travel Editor, The Independent "This is not a dry sociological account but a passionate defence of a way of life... Webb is good at shedding light on our ambivalent and contradictory relationship with American power and culture." The Sunday Times "Written in a breezy, engaging and often humorous style, Webb's smartly reported book reveals him to be curious, thorough and generous of spirit... A book full of insight and heart." Sarah Lyall, The Daily Mail "If you want to know what makes Americans tick, read this book. Webb knows America - and it shows." John Humphreys
