Article Abstract:
The general decline of the American ideology has brought to the fore critical issues of white male selfhood in multiracial late imperial America. The paranoia about socio-economic changes is seen as a social identity crisis of white male authority and has given rise to whiteness as a social category. 'Forrest Gump,' 'Falling Down,' 'Grand Canyon,' and other Hollywood films use narratives of imperial history that include violence and the racial 'other' to depict the fragility of white manhood in a culturally alien nation. They reassess the norms of white male crisis management and redefine white masculinity.

Article Abstract:
US foreign policy in the 1919-1939 period between the World Wars was marked by both isolationism and advocacy of a more peaceful world through a freer economic order and disarmament. These conflicting tendencies endowed the foreign policies of all presidents during this era with a crippling uncertainty. While the US emphasis on free trade, convertible currency and other economic reforms was far-sighted and significant, the concurrent disregard for the League of Nations and international diplomacy meant that these economic efforts would fail to prevent World War II.
