These travel stories show how encounters with Africans lead to a problematic desire to save Africa. Kathryn Mathers argues that this is then seen as a way to resolve the tensions between aspirations for a globally responsible America and the current reality of its geopolitical role. This book draws fascinating new conclusions about the connections and disconnections on which contemporary American identity is formed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678318461216,"sku":"NEW0230108067","price":121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71zcrdjF6uL.jpg?v=1779309208","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/travel-humanitarianism-and-becoming-american-in-africa-0230108067","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
