Presidential Metaphor and Us Intervention in the Persian Gulf

Beschreibung

From the 1970s to the 1990s, American presidents and their advisers introduced four metaphors into foreign-policy discourse that taught Americans to view the Persian Gulf as a vulnerable region and site of US responsibility on the world stage. Here, Randall Fowler argues that metaphor has been central to defining America’s role in the Middle East.
