Superpatriotism by Michael Parenti
A pointed critique of American exceptionalism and aggressive nationalism, arguing that patriotic rhetoric is often used to justify empire, militarism, and the narrow interests of economic and political elites; the book traces how history, media, education, and political culture manufacture consent, conceal class and corporate power, rationalize interventions abroad, and stigmatize dissent at home, while urging a more democratic, internationalist perspective that recognizes inequality, racism, and the contradictions between stated ideals and actual policy.
