前言
許多人確實對美國懷有復(fù)雜的情感,這種情感往往分化為兩個極端。因此,很難客觀地看待美國,但也許這些情緒恰恰證明了這些人對美國有著強烈的興趣。不幸的是,不論是喜歡還是討厭美國的人似乎都沒能準(zhǔn)確地認(rèn)識這個國家。一派基于民族主義,呼吁抵制美國;另一派則對美國敞開胸懷。因此,在當(dāng)今這個日益全球化的時代,我們比以往任何時候都更需要努力去客觀地看待美國。幾十年前我就想創(chuàng)作一套有關(guān)美國的書,但是,當(dāng)時我對美國還不夠了解,而且我沒有信心寫美國,因為我擔(dān)心被諸多熟知美國的人恥笑。但是,當(dāng)我認(rèn)為時機已經(jīng)成熟,決定開始寫寫美國時,我花了兩年時間,寫成并出版了這套包含三冊的叢書。雖然我作為客座教授在美國只居住了大約一年半,但在歐洲生活的十年期間,我每天都能在媒體上接觸到有關(guān)美國的話題。不論是否愿意,我都深受美國的影響,而且我為自己努力研究美國的社會和民眾而自豪。這套有關(guān)美國的叢書就是基于我的這些經(jīng)歷和知識而創(chuàng)作的。這套書包括以下三冊:第一冊是《美國人》,從美國的民主和憲法到美國社會的問題,從美國的移民歷史到美國人的生活習(xí)慣,力求全面展現(xiàn)美國人的生活圖景;第二冊是《美國歷史》,深入闡述了美國從哥倫布發(fā)現(xiàn)新大陸直至發(fā)展成為今天世界唯一的超級大國的歷史;第三冊是《美國總統(tǒng)》,從華盛頓到奧巴馬,看歷任總統(tǒng)如何影響了美國乃至世界。寫第三冊是因為,如果不理解美國總統(tǒng)和總統(tǒng)制的各方面及其特點,就很難理解美國。我希望這套書不僅能幫助大家消除對美國的錯誤觀念,也能使我的讀者準(zhǔn)確地認(rèn)識美國,而不帶有任何荒謬的偏見。衷心感謝親愛的讀者們以及為這套書的編輯出版付出心血和勞動的人們!李元馥
