The title of an upcoming lecture at UofL certainly caught my attention. “Culture, Continuity and U.S. Foreign Policy” will be presented by historian and author Walter Hixson.
Hixson, a University of Akron history professor, is expected to talk about the cultural roots of U.S. foreign relations and explain why the nation’s foreign policy has remained remarkably unchanged throughout its history. He contends that Americans always have united behind a powerful nationalism grounded in campaigns against external enemies and that this also affects domestic reform and dissent. Hixson suggests that people can better understand the relationship between war and society in the past and present by analyzing foreign policy in a cultural context over the span of American history.
