Torrent description

Ugly.Americans.S01E02.An.American.Werewolf.in.America.HDTV.XviD-FQMThe term originated as the title of a 1958 book by authors William Lederer and Eugene Burdick. In 1963 the book was made into a movie directed by George Englund and starring Marlon Brando.

The best-selling, loosely fictional account provided contrasting characters with different approaches to opposing Communist influence in Southeast Asia, and the use of foreign aid in particular. The majority of the Americans exhibit a range of blundering, corrupt, and incompetent behaviors, often concentrating on impractical projects that will serve more to benefit American contractors than the local population. A minority are effective because they employ knowledge of the local language and culture, but most of these are marginalized and some even considered suspect. As a result, their influence is more limited than it should be.[35]

The title character, Homer Atkins, is introduced late in the book. The \"Ugly American\" is an engineer whose unattractive features, rough clothing and dirty hands are contrasted with the bureaucrats\' freshly pressed clothes, clean fingers and smooth cheeks. Their behaviors have the opposite contrast: the engineer wants to provide practical solutions to day-to-day problems faced by the populace; the bureaucrats want to build highways and dams that are not yet needed, and with no concern for the many other projects that will have to be completed before they can be used. [36]

The book led to a move by President Dwight Eisenhower to study and reform American aid programs in the region.[37]

In the book, a fictional Burmese journalist wrote, \"For some reason, the people I meet in my country are not the same as the ones I knew in the United States. A mysterious change seems to come over Americans when they go to a foreign land. They isolate themselves socially. They live pretentiously. They\'re loud and ostentatious. Perhaps they\'re frightened and defensive, or maybe they\'re not properly trained and make mistakes out of ignorance.\"[38]

The idea of the ignorant or badly-behaving American traveler long predates this book. Mark Twain wrote about The Innocents Abroad in the nineteenth century, and Algonquin Round Table member Donald Ogden Stewart wrote Mr and Mrs Haddock Abroad in 1924.[39]
