'In its dynamic expansionism and near universal appeal, American popular culture is often theorised, and experienced by the rest of the world, as a destructive, hegemonic force, even as an unstoppable viral infection which bids to wipe out indigenous cultures.

How convenient to project this quintessentially American force as the province of alien interlopers.' London Review of Books
