Us and Them: Or Why America Is Like England, Why England Is Like America and How They Got That Way
Texas: Dallas, Taylor Publishing, 1987.
A brisk comparative portrait of the U.S. and the U.K., this 1987 study pares away clichés to show how law, language, institutions, class, media, and everyday habits on each side of the Atlantic mirror—and reshape—one another.
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean. 8 inches tall; 4-136 [4] pages. Fully illustrated.
Written for general readers, it frames the “special relationship” as lived culture as much as high politics, sketching how parallel histories and cross-pollination made the two countries feel so alike despite their differences.
Subjects: United States & Great Britain—cultural parallels; Institutions and social customs; Language and media; Late-20th-century transatlantic identity; Comparative cultural history; Anglo-American studies.
