LOS ANGELES, Dec. 14 /Standard Newswire/ -- Three prominent authors and thinkers will present their opinions on why the United States is so reviled in many quarters of the world and what this means for the future of the United States. The colloquium will be held at the Skirball Cultural Center 2701 North Sepulveda Blvd. Los Angeles CA on Thursday, December 18, 2007 at 7:00 pm. The participants in the colloquium will be Bruce Bawer, best selling author of While Europe Slept; Andrei Markovits, University of Michigan professor and author of Uncouth Nation: Why Europe Dislikes America and former UCLA professor and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient James Q. Wilson. The price of attendance is $25.00 at the door and $20.00 by reservation. The event is sponsored by the American Freedom Alliance and is open to the public.
The concept for the colloquium arose from the sense that anti-American sentiment abroad has risen alarmingly over the past two decades. In order to explore the causes of this hostility, the panelists will be asked to address the many theories which have arisen to explain it, including the policies of the Bush Administration, international economic issues, cultural competition, societal jealousies and expectations or perceptions which might not always jibe with reality.
Importantly, the three authors will be asked to examine the consequences of such alienation for the future of Western civilization and world peace.
The American Freedom Alliance was founded in 2005 to build bridges between peoples of faith around the world to support freedom and democracy. Its programs, conferences, websites and publications aim to educate individuals and citizens on the threats posed to freedom and liberal democracy by ideologies and movements that deny the sanctity of the personal conscience.
Note to press: All three authors will be available for interview prior to the event. Inquiries as to availability can be made by calling the AFA office at (310) 444 3085.
