American views of Russia

[Margarita Nafpaktitis]

Dear colleagues,

Some of you may remember a couple of years back when I wrote to the list
and asked for your suggestions for good sources to use for a course on how
Russians viewed America in the 20th century.  The responses that I
received were so helpful in developing the course, that I was hoping you
would be willing to share your thoughts on materials that could be used
for teaching about the other side of the question.

I'd be grateful for any and all recommendations for literature,
journalism, film, visual art, music that reflect American views of
Russia/the Soviet Union and Russians/Soviets, particularly in the 20th
century.  I know there's a lot out there, but if you have particular
favorites or ideas about the best "teachable" materials, I'd love to know
what they are.

I'll be glad to compile a summary of responses and post it to the list, so
please respond to me directly at mnafpakt at umich.edu.

Thank you in advance!
