German term

Amerikakritik

German to English Social Sciences Government / Politics
politics, history.

I am wondering if there is a direct translation of this term.

"Amerikakritik im Sinne einer Kritik, die auf rationale Ursachen und Argumente rückführbar ist."

(in contrast to the often very emotional and irrational anti-Americanism in its various forms".

critique -> critical analysis; too me this is a wider concept than criticism

agree Roddy Stegemann : Marcuse was one of my favorites. I even have a copy of the book you cited.
