		It should be obvious that the rapists' actions are also oppressive, however the film does not attempt to connect their actions to the brutality of their situation but instead connects it to the inherent savageness of El Salvador.
		However, it is surprising that he considers one of the weaknesses of the film to be its focus on Romero’s life instead of focusing on U.S. involvement in the region.
		I do not agree with Nathan’s argument that the film “dwell[s] on Christianity to the exclusion of any other influence.” The central dilemma that Romero seems to face is the separation he sees between the church and politics.

		Emily Dickinson introduced the sound of American common sense into lyric poetry, a sound that echoed in such diverse writers as Pound, Stein, Cummings, and Williams.
		Mark Twain did the same for prose and shifted the American culture firmly from Eurocentrism to Americentrism.
		If Washington Irving went to Europe to find the center of the cultural universe in his travel essays and tales, Mark Twain took the center of the universe with him wherever he went.

	The American dream: with his patriotic-themed team and American drivers, Stefan Johansson is doing his part to win CART ...
		WHEN THE 2003 CART season kicked off, among the new teams in the garage was a curious bunch with an Americentric name and a dedication to providing rides for U.S. drivers.
		Once Americentrism was identified as the team's focus, Vasser was natural choice.
		Not only is he an experienced American driver, but he's a winner--the only current CART driver to have earned a series championship (1996).

	Nous irons avoir raison
		I do remember about how in 2004 when I was still in Singapore, the radio (specifically 93.8 FM material that 92.4 FM borrowed) kept on commenting on (in memorable artificial accents) the various US government shifts, of the Republicans taking control of both House and Senate, and so forth.
		By that time I had been tired of the Americentrism already that I had barely cared; now two years later, I am here, on the opposite side of the ocean.
		I am not as enthused as I would be, if say, the PAP were to be overthrown (via elections or otherwise), but change is good.

		It's a novel you'll either love or hate, so it seems only fit to state my bias up front: formerly Baptist, now a Catholic catechumen who accepts all the teaching of the Church.
		That being said, there's a lot to dislike about Macfarlane's Pierced by a Sword, including its "see Dick run" style of prose, its rabid Americentrism, its smearing of non-Catholic religions, and its wholesale borrowing from Fundamentalist eschatology.
		The pacing of the novel is brutally slow.

		Both Afrocentrism and Americentrism reflect attempts to ditch one experience for the other.
		In their schizophrenic attempts to ditch one dimension for the other, both Afrocentrism and Americentrism reflect this tension between competing ideals.
		The fact is, as Du Bois perceptively argued, neither side would or should give up for the other.

		But the complaint itself isn't consistent—the reviewers alleges that the October command "actively repressed" minority art movements, then rehabilitated the same for the book, but then did not write authoritatively about one of those movements, but did include mention of it.
		It also betrays an unintentional Americentrism to suggest that a global historical survey include reference to a movement whose context does not obviously (to my mind) extend outside the U.S. borders.
		Which is not to say that the lasting value of the Harlem Renaissance isn't potentially universal—nor by any stretch of the imagination is it an argument for excluding fl artists.
