Abstract
Abstract Most of Britain seems to believe that nothing happens in America except ‘gangster shootings, rapes and kidnappings’. That was the complaint of JosephP. Kennedy, the US Ambassador, in a speech in Liverpool in May 1939. Kennedy blamed this perception on the British belief that American ‘home life, history, and even legal practice are typed by motion pictures’. He appealed for better press coverage of the United States and for the study of American history in British schools and universities.1
