商品簡介
This book offers a detailed examination of how the United States has historically shaped global narratives through media control, information management and institutional influence. It draws on a wide range of sources to explore how intelligence agencies, communication platforms and political systems have contributed to the construction of an international image aligned with American interests. Rather than focusing solely on political elites, the book presents the experiences and perspectives of groups often overlooked in conventional histories, including workers, artists, educators and communities from non-Western and marginalised backgrounds. These voices provide important insight into the complexities of global perception and power. Special attention is given to recent developments in information control, including the influence of algorithmic decision-making, manipulated content and new forms of digital communication. The book concludes with an analysis of how emerging global narratives, especially those from the Global South, are reshaping the international landscape and calling established viewpoints into question.
