Zusammenfassung:Part of a 2002 panel debate on a book by Joanne P. Sharp, Condensing the Cold War: Reader's Digest and American Identity (2000). Sharp's work is praised both in its own right & for opening up avenues for further investigations in political geography, specifically regarding (1) the relationship between policymakers & geopolitical images in popular media, (2) the popularization of geopolitics, & (3) the placing of ethnic considerations on the agenda. In examining images of the Cold War-era USSR portrayed by a popular US periodical, Sharp also demonstrates the powerful function of linguistics in geopolitics. K. Hyatt Stewart
