Europe Gets A Fresh View of America
According to this PRNewswire press release, "A European online publisher wants to widen European perceptions of America with the launch of a new website America-is.com that focuses only on America and American issues across all subjects. The first text 'America' is the latest work of Portuguese writer and poet Paulo Jose Miranda and is written in 99 points ranging from one liners to fuller explanations. Miranda says: "In Europe, no matter what kind of education you have, when the subject America is brought up, suddenly all intelligence vanishes from the discourse." It is as if we in Europe lack a US chromosome. The text America is completely different. It perceives the greatness of America all along in its 99 points." Will this site help to change European perceptions of America?
