El imperio de la utopía

America nurtures passions, dreams, and fascination. As much as the country has never been stepped on, anyone thinks they know what it is like as a result of the abundant flow of images that flood the television series, movies, novels, political speeches, brands and advertising. However, those who arrive in the North American country experience a strong clash between their previous ideas and reality. The Empire of Utopia offers an X-ray of current American society that helps to understand its historical contradictions and its power to build myths and hide realities. From the analysis of key themes such as optimism, individualism, religion, security, nationalism, politics, democracy and social inequalities, this book unravels the chiaroscuro of a promised and welcoming land and, at the same time, cruel and devastating.
