Features: The publication of the "Close-Up on America Series" is not only due to the research value of American civilization for the study of humanities and social sciences but also because America is the world's only superpower today. The relationship between the United States and China is of great importance to the 21st century, and the difficulties in their bilateral relations have repeatedly arisen. The authors of this series are all members of the Association of Chinese Social Science Professors in the United States, who have studied in America. They not only span both Chinese and American cultures, possessing unique conditions and an advantageous perspective, but also have long-term stays in America, which gives them the opportunity to conduct in-depth studies of American society and culture. This book will explore the issues from the perspectives of history, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, political science, and other fields, attempting to answer the questions mentioned above. To provide readers with a more vivid understanding of these issues, the book intersperses interesting anecdotes, personal experiences, and firsthand observations, accompanied by an engaging writing style. At the same time, this book also strives to analyze the social reality of America's multi-ethnic and multicultural society with substantial data, rich content, and the latest academic theories.
